Now Both US Aircraft Carriers in The Western Pacific Have COVID-19 Cases, Raising Readiness Concerns

If Reagan is sidelined, as well, the service would have no carriers presently deployed in the Pacific region that can actually operate. T wo sailors onboard the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which forward-deployed in Japan and presently pier-side there, have tested positive for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. This comes just a day after the U.S. Navy announced it had quarantined the entire crew of another aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, on their ship in port in Guam after a number of sailors contracted the virus.
