“We have to have ships stay at sea another month or so longer as they do their training and instead of taking leave right after training before deployment, they roll right into deployment,' Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday said.
Gilday said the Navy has learned from the Roosevelt incident and has been successfully preventing transmission on ships, but he acknowledged changes, like fewer port visits and longer time at sea, have put more stress on the sailors and hurt their quality of life during deployment.
In the midst of the pandemic, the Navy also suffered a massive fire onboard the USS Bonhomme Richard last month, an amphibious assault ship that was in port in San Diego at the time. The fire broke out on a Sunday morning, and Gilday said the Navy expected to have it under control that evening, until a series of explosions tore through the ship.
