Another leadership flail by the surface Navy

 ‘People are scared’: COVID-19 outbreak rattles crew of the warship Chafee (navytimes.com)

Reading through this , it once again shows how we don't see, to know how to do basic leadership. 

Third Fleet spokesman Robertson told Navy Times Thursday that “there is no plan to test the entire crew at this time.”

What? 

If you have ever been on a ship, if one person gets sick then pretty much every one does. Everything is cramped. especially berthing spaces

“We have asked for more (N95 masks), but they don’t have enough,” the petty officer said. “When we kick back, we are either told to wear the dirty mask or face (non-judicial punishment).”

really? It seems like the Navy has not learned from the TR

“These O-5s work for an O-6 who never come on these boats, who makes policies and makes the O-5 carry them out,” the petty officer said. “The O-5 don’t have the balls to stand up to the O-6 and say what’s going on because he’s afraid he will get fired.”

This. This is probably the most accurate statement about the state of the Navy I have read in a while. 

“The ship remains able to meet its mission,” Cmdr. Sean Robertson said in an email Wednesday. “No Chafee sailors have been hospitalized and all positives are in isolation.”

I highly doubt this. My  guess, the higher ups are going to eventually realize that when the cooks get sick everyone does .

"Eleven of those listed sailors are culinary specialists"

This just shows the Navy has not learned from the TR. 

The below in my opinion sums up my reaction to this
