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

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.

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.
