Ths ship is docked in Guam now.

When was the first case on the ship reported/documented? Is it traced back to the first trip to Guam? What is "recently"? Were soldiers let of the ship in Vietnam? These are all pertinent details are they not?

Questions about outbreak on aircraft carrier in Guam. -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 08:12AM

As someone posted below, they took shore leave in early March in Vietnam. -- dallasvt 04/01/2020 10:05AM

Thank you...there are some of the missing details. -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 10:09AM

Hot bunking does not help the spread ... -- DaveVT 04/01/2020 09:33AM

I thought "hot bunking" was pretty much limited to submarines -- Hokie in CT 04/01/2020 10:54AM

Not when shagging a female crew member. ** -- DaveVT 04/01/2020 11:52AM

Doesn't make a difference if the virus doesn't make it on the ship to start -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 09:37AM

Yep. Space limitations preclude ship compliance w/CDC and NAVADMIN guidance ** -- ColoVT82 04/01/2020 09:36AM

Uncertain about time at sea for TR. Typical deployments are 6 to 8 months -- ColoVT82 04/01/2020 08:57AM

That's kind of my point...should be as secure as secure gets. -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 09:00AM

I'm guessing they had other protection in mind for shore leave -- HokieAl 04/01/2020 09:26AM

Shore leave ? ** -- ColoVT82 04/01/2020 09:01AM

Which is a question I asked in my original post. ** -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 09:03AM

Im agreeing. Or perhaps visiting at sea detachments... ** -- ColoVT82 04/01/2020 09:07AM

This is Bio War basically- the WHO lied about the contagion -- bigbadbird 04/01/2020 08:21AM

OK ** -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 08:24AM

The ship had visited Guam about a month ago and had also visited -- Femoyer Hokie 04/01/2020 08:19AM

Ths ship is docked in Guam now. -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 08:23AM

Honestly I'm surprised there so much being reported about it.... -- ModerateHokie 04/01/2020 08:51AM

Agree. Looking at letter closely. Someone had a hand on it and leaked it. ** -- ColoVT82 04/01/2020 09:38AM

Because the CO went public due to lack of active plan -- Stork 04/01/2020 09:16AM

Isn't it his job to protect his ship? -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 09:20AM

Actually, I think his job is to complete the ship's mission. -- Hokie360 04/01/2020 09:27AM

Sure it is. Apparently the Pentagon and Secretary of the Navy did not share -- Stork 04/01/2020 09:23AM

Agry, but don't the crew have some comm access to outside world, email,etc? ** -- Hokie360 04/01/2020 08:56AM

That's also true...but unfortunately that ship sailed long ago. ** -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 08:53AM

i see what you did there +1 ** -- kingofcassell 04/01/2020 09:04AM

There is plenty of pertinent to go around right now. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 04/01/2020 08:27AM

Thanks for the info...very helpful. ** -- vthokieq 04/01/2020 08:30AM

Lol, seriously ;^) ** -- `lag 04/01/2020 08:54AM
