(CNN)A sailor from the USS Theodore Roosevelt who had tested positive for coronavirus was admitted to an intensive care unit in Guam after being found unresponsive, according to a Navy official.
The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Teddy Roosevelt sailors was at the center of a controversy that led to the Tuesday resignation of Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly.
Modly dismissed the aircraft carrier's captain Brett Crozier, after the leak of a memo in which he implored Navy officials to urgently evacuate the ship to protect the health of its sailors.
Modly then flew to Guam and delivered remarks to the sailors slamming Crozier as "stupid" for not understanding the memo would leak to the media and suggesting the captain had done the leaking himself. Modly's trip to Guam cost the Defense Department an estimated $243,000, according to a Navy official.
