WASHINGTON - More than 120,000 people have signed a petition calling on the US Navy to reinstate the captain of a coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier a day after he was relieved of his command for a letter sent to superiors urging stronger measures to halt the outbreak.
"His actions possibly saved many lives," the online petition said."Although he was fired, his plan to safely remove crew members was still implemented. He is a hero who should be rewarded." The removal of Crozier, first reported by Reuters, was announced by acting US Navy Secretary Thomas Modly, who said the senior officer of the nuclear-powered vessel of 5,000 crew members had exercised poor judgment in the way he"broadly" distributed his letter.
