Why the USS Roosevelt’s Captain Had To Be Relieved

The good news is that the Navy has, as it contends it would have absent a public letter, started moving crew off the Roosevelt and onto Guam. Better, by our lights, that were done with as much secrecy as possible. Even total secrecy. We may not be at war at the moment, but if our enemies find out that a weapon like the Roosevelt is lying at anchor with but a skeleton crew, as is now widely reported, who knows what could happen?

Well, maybe. But evidently Crozier thought essentially going public was his best bet at getting the Navy to actually do something, as in fact they did.
