I UNDERSTAND the Captain’s position - he did ‘whatever it took’ to protect his troops
I UNDERSTAND the sailors’ position - they like a leader who ‘cares for his guys’
I UNDERSTAND the Secretary’s position - he falls on his political sword to protect the service.
I UNDERSTAND the families’ position - they worry about their loved ones.
I UNDERSTAND the dependapottomuses’ position - they worry to Jodi about maintaining their ‘spouse rank’.
NOW, WHO HERE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A GODDAMN NUCLEAR WARSHIP, NOT A PLEASURE CRUISE? GET IT UNDERWAY, STOP BEING SHITMATES, PUT AWAY YOUR CAMERA PHONES, AND FIND A DEWEY OR A FARRAGUT AND PUT THEM IN CHARGE!
They're clearly captained by calmer people. Given that the cruise ships are full of old people who may die if they get COVID, but the carrier is full of young people who probably won't even know they have it, it's twice as egregious that this Captain had a 5 page meltdown, a 20 person cc list, and a fondness for using a leftwing San Francisco newspaper to get his point across.

Even Carnival Cruise ships quarantine in place instead of being offloaded. Are they better equipped than a nuclear aircraft carrier?

Carnival Cruise Lines isn’t one of the 11 highest value missile targets on the planet, or projecting U.S. strategic power.
And in terms of quarantine space, yes. These warships aren’t built with spacious staterooms, sailors often share their bunkspace.
The most powerful ship in the world. One of only ten. A massive responsibility that can't be fucked up and yet this dude was in charge.
