(San Diego) — The USS Theodore Roosevelt returned home to San Diego on Thursday led by a new captain who came aboard after the previous commanding officer was fired over the handling of a massive COVID-19 outbreak on board. There were no emotional embraces on the Navy pier typical of such homecomings when sailors return after months at sea. Instead, the crew wearing face coverings disembarked one by one and walked to waiting vehicles to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, marking a quiet and sterile end to one of the Navy’s most tumultuous non-combat deployments. The aircraft carrier departed in January with 4,800 crew members.
