Capt. Brett Crozier, who was fired after emailing a letter about the coronavirus on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, could still get his job back.
The US Navy has not ruled out reinstating Capt. Brett Crozier, the former commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt who was fired for his handling of a coronavirus outbreak, according to the service's top officer.
Gilday said he hadn't yet spoken with Crozier, who is under quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus, but that he was particularly interested in the captain's motivations for emailing the letter. The letter was eventually leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle, which published its contents on March 31. It was not immediately clear how the letter was leaked, but Navy leaders said they recently completed an investigation into the matter.Thomas Modly, the acting Navy secretary at the time, scrutinized Crozier's decision to email the letter to the group and accused him of circumventing the service's chain of command.
