While the ship is undergoing the overhaul, a certain number of sailors are required aboard in order to provide ship security, run essential equipment, and maintain fire and flood watches.
More than 200 sailors on the USS George Washington took the opportunity Monday to move off the ship to accommodations at a local installation. The move is part of the Navy's response to support the crew who lost three shipmates to suicideThe commanding officer of the USS George Washington, Capt. Brent Gaut, plans to offer every sailor onboard the option of moving to an off-ship location, according to the Navy.
"I hear your concerns and you should always raise them but you have to do so with reasonable expectations and then understanding what…what this is like," Smith said."What you're not doing is sleeping in a foxhole like a marine might be doing." It is not clear why the sailors died by suicide, but the Navy has launched an investigation into the recent deaths of sailors assigned to the carrier. The investigation will include command climate and culture issues, and the systemic relationships between them, according to the Navy.
