USS Roosevelt

Post by AndyMarden »

Looks like the crew of the Japan-based USS Theodore Roosevelt is having a hard time with coronavirus. Over 100 cases so far.
It is currently docked in Guam.

Always thought it was based in San Diego and the Reagan was the one that lived in Japan… has this changed recently?

You're correct The USS Ronald Reagan is based at Yokosuka, where it is right now, locked down due to an outbreak of Coronavirus.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is currently locked-down in Guam with a major outbreak of Coronavirus on board.
