* [[Thomas Modly]], the acting secretary of the navy, said that Captain Brett Crozier had been relieved of his command of the nuclear-powered carrier because he had copied in too many people on an internal memo on Monday, in which he urgently appealed for members of his crew who had fallen ill to be allowed to disembark for medical care in Guam.<ref> [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/02/us-navy-uss-theodore-roosevelt-coronavirus US navy fires commander who raised alarm about coronavirus on ship] - ''The Guardian'' - accessed 4-3-2020</ref>

* Briefing the press on his decision on Thursday, Modly ... accused Crozier of “not being careful” about who would receive his note.
*:“It was copied to 20 or 30 other people. That’s just not acceptable. He did not take care and what that did is it created a little bit of a panic on the ship,” Modly said.<ref name="fired" />
