‘The GOAT’: Sailors Cheer Commander Dismissed After Raising Alarm About Coronavirus

Applauding sailors chanting “Captain Cro-zier” gave their commanding officer a hero’s send-off from the USS Theodore Roosevelt Thursday after he was relieved of duty for warning about a coronavirus outbreak in a letter leaked to the press. Videos posted on Twitter showed hundreds of his supporters applauding Navy Capt. Brett Crozier as he waved to the crowd, walked down a gangplank alone and turned and waved one more time.
