Oh noes, there goes the narrative.

So he hates the ChiComs oppressive govt? Nice
 
An Admiral commands a fleet , whereever his flag is flying is where his home is at the time .( home is where your hat is kinda thing ) There can also be a Vice Admiral on board or even two Captains on board at the same time but there can only ever be one commander in charge at any time . I don’t know but I would guess that he was the ranking officer on board and wouldn’t dare go over his Admirals head if his flag was flying on the carrier . ( pure speculation on my part )
I think there are always 2 Captains on board a Carrier at sea. Right?

The Captain of the ship
The Captain of the air wing

(I think the Commanding Officer of carrier air wing is a Captain? Could be wrong)

Wonder what happens if they disagree.
 
Chinese National and Billionaire Joe Tsai has bought and donated 2.6M masks, 170,000 goggles and 2,000 ventilators to New York.

Thank you Joe. Thanks China and Russia. Sorry we Americans have become so much in need of charity to protect our people.

Thanking Red China for the masks after they gave us the virus that required the masks in the first place is like thanking the guy who kicked you hard in the gonads multiple times for giving you an ice pack.
 
However, any request for change in the Carrier Group's mission runs through the Carrier Group's Commander, Rear Admiral Baker, the Roosevelt is his Flag Ship. Which means he was present, on board, while this incident was taking place.
Maybe I understood the original question. All I was saying is the admiral doesn't interfere with the captain running the ship. The admiral may be there, but he doesn't generally have anything to do with the day to day operations. That's all on the captain.

What narrative? That we are having to take charity from foreigners, Russia and China?

The only thing that matters is where we are now. ¥ou can't change the past. And right now we are in need of supplies that we don't have.

True until decisions are made regarding the Group's mission. Taking it out of service may be the Captain's choice but it doesn't happen until the Admiral and probably other's above him, OK it. That would including going to Guam and disembarking the ill and exposed.

You could be right , our son-in-law is on the Carl Vincent in the air wing group . I know he has a commanding officer for that group but I believe he’s just over that part of it and the actual captain of the ship is considered commander of its entirety, even when the Admiral is on board . Lots of moving parts but only one person in charge at a time thing.

Yes but you don't have to go out of your way to say:

We have 70 cases in my county. I dont know anyone who has it. The stats say if you are healthy and less than 50, it's rare, if not extremely rare. It's odd we shut down our country for this. We are being led by modelers, Twitter, and the media. This just doesn't pass the sniff test.
Sniff test?

Did Abbott develop that one too?

The Carrier Group is commanded by and Admiral and Captain commands the carrier. Adm. Phil Davidson, commander INDO-PACIFIC ordered Captain Crozier and the Theodore Roosevelt to make the part called in Vietnam.

Please stop fixating on the “numbers.” I was saying the same thing 3-4 weeks ago. Two weeks ago our county in NY had <50 cases. We are now approaching 1000.

So?

"When the Commanding Officer of the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT decided to write his letter of 30 March 2020 that outlined his concerns for his crew in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak, the Department of the Navy had already mobilized significant resources for days in response to his previous requests. On the same date marked on his letter, my Chief of Staff had called the CO directly, at my request, to ensure he had all the resources necessary for the health and safety of his crew.

The CO told my Chief of Staff that he was receiving those resources, and was fully aware of the Navy’s response, only asking that the he wished the crew could be evacuated faster. My Chief of Staff ensured that the CO knew that he had an open line to me to use at any time. He even called the CO again a day later to follow up. At no time did the CO relay the various levels of alarm that I, along with the rest of the world, learned from his letter when it was published two days later.

Once I read the letter, I immediately called the Chief of Naval Operations, ADM Gilday, and the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, ADM Aquilino. ADM Gilday had just read the letter that morning as well, and ADM Aquilino had it the day before. We had a teleconference within minutes of my reading of that article, including the Commander, SEVENTH Fleet, VADM William Merz, ADM Aquilino, ADM Gilday, the Department of the Navy’s Surgeon General, RADM Bruce Gillingham, and others. That evening, we held another teleconference with the entire chain of command.

The next day, I spoke with the CO of the THEODORE ROOSEVELT myself, and this morning, I have spoken to the TR’s Carrier Strike Group Commander, RDML Stuart Baker. RDML Baker did not know about the letter before it was sent to him via email by the CO. It is important to understand that the Strike Group Commander, the CO’s immediate boss, is embarked on the Theodore Roosevelt, right down the passageway from him. The letter was sent over non- secure, unclassified email even though that ship possesses some of the most sophisticated communications and encryption equipment in the Fleet.

It was sent outside the chain of command, at the same time the rest of the Navy was fully responding. Worse, the Captain’s actions made his Sailors, their families, and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason help from our larger Navy family was forthcoming, which was hardly the case."

Statement From SECNAV on Relief of CO Aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71)

Read all of it.
 
Let's see, guy who consolidated the directorates under one roof and explains why, how, and the current structure, or random VN guy? Or media who have an unparalleled record of inaccuracy and falsehood for 3.5 years now?

yawn...
Lol. You want soooooo bad for this oped to matter. It wouldn’t, even if that oped supported all of the conclusions you’re drawing from it.

You have the Captain of the ship and the CAG(Captain of the Air Group), but the Captain of the ship holds overall command.

People should heed this advice, especially in Knoxville. That will give me a few days to get to the grocery store without having to fight you bastards.

Hey Weezer, I’ve been working yesterday and today and haven’t had a chance. Why is she saying “right now” is the very important time in the curve? Have we seen a slight downward trend in the past 24/48 hrs?
