Acting Navy secretary Thomas Modly told the sailors that Navy Capt. Crozier’s removal has drawn widespread attention, especially after videos of sailors cheering him as he left the ship circulated on Friday. Anyone who has served on a Navy ship would understand. Last Wednesday, Gilday said at the Pentagon that the Navy wasn’t “looking to shoot the messenger” in Crozier’s case. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a Marine veteran, said that Modly “spectacularly disqualified himself as an effective leader” of the Navy.
