Navy Head Calls for Aircraft Carrier COVID-19 Probe

Carla Babb

   WASHINGTON - The acting secretary of the Navy has called for a more
   thorough investigation into "unanswered questions" about events aboard
   the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, as sailors who had been
   quarantined for weeks return to the vessel.

   "I have unanswered questions that the preliminary inquiry has
   identified and that can only be answered by a deeper review," Acting
   Navy Secretary James McPherson said.

   The carrier was the first Navy ship to experience a major COVID-19
   outbreak at sea, sidelining the vessel in late March.
