Why the frick did the Captain do a port visit in Da Nang two weeks ago? fricking idiot.


That's the bigger question. I wonder if there's a damned good reason he allowed that or if his career just ended.

Nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. CVN is the most impersonal place on the planet. You can't get away from people.

How about an SSBN? You think those bubbleheads even know what's going on up here or do you think they've kept them in the dark while on patrol?

I would imagine that the most severe cases would be medevaced to Tripler in Hawaii. That Navy Hospital on Guam isn't large enough to handle a CVN mass casualty.

You guys are dumb. The CO didnt just randomly decide to stop at Vietnam. It was a COMREL visit that came from higher up than him.

I was deployed in the Middle East when Katrina hit. They didnt tell us anything about it until 2 weeks later when we stopped in Bahrain.

I just have a feeling that 2020 is going to be one of those historically bad years. One thing after another

Port visits are planned a year or more in advance. There were few, that knew about the pandemic. There is little if any internet or the like. The Captain really has little leeway in where he goes. Vietnam is a high priority cultivation for DoD and State.
