Three sailors serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush have died by suicide in the last week.
The deaths by suicide of three sailors serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush last week have led the ship's commanding officer to urge his crew to come together and help shipmates in need.
Bailey said these are the third, fourth and fifth crew member deaths by suicide in the last two years. The previous suicides occurred in November 2017 and July 2019."Now is the time to come together as a crew and as a family to grieve, to support each other, and to care for those in need," he added."We need all hands to engage by bringing forward your suggestions and ideas for how we can work together to prevent another suicide.
"The sailors did not serve in the same departments, and there does not appear to be a connection between their deaths," Cragg said. Crew members who are assigned to the carrier typically stay attached to the ship during their tour, but sometimes leave for training or other duty requirements.
