The ship’s commander was likely removed for ignoring the chain of command not because he was protecting his crew.

Exactly, he chose to go to the media first! Insubordination

I remember many days on the flight deck with bio chemical suit, mask, and the rest. When i heard this i wondered why the captain would not treat this situation as an attack. He should have been able to counter any problem on his boat with the same procedures he'd use in an attack

Because he was playing politics b4 being a leader? I don't know about modern carriers, but I'm sure he could have found spaces to set up quarantines. And filter out the sick and who came in contact with them. There are people who've never interacted w/each other on these ships

The Command of an Aircraft Carrier is an awesome responsibility which cannot be understood by most people. Even the slightest hint of self doubt can result in the death of crew. If any doubt exists there are plenty of others to step up and relieve him. Lives are on the line here.

WRONG. Patton was known for being a Wild Duck plus we are not at a real combat war to begin with . Preserving the readiness of a strategic asset like a carrier is in the best of Naval traditions

That captain publicly left the world know the ship was very vulnerable to attack. Not good.
