That's why you only use NIPR for the command BBQ invitation.

I should add that I assume he's a great guy (by all accounts he is), and had good intentions. It's even remotely possible he unintentionally wrote and launched the email from the wrong account, he likely had two, perhaps three different classification systems connected to one monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

An excerpt from a 2006 Proceedings Journal article:
"The worst place to have an epidemic, like a fire, is in close quarters far from help, such as a ship on the high seas. . . . During an epidemic, democracy can be a very dangerous form of Government; the need is for a strong Central authority with a grasp of basic Epidemiology." -Alfred W. Crosby, Epidemic and Peace, 1918"

The Navy takes some casualties - even in peacetime.

And a carrier deck is the most hazardous occupational environment I’ve ever seen.

The Navy will not reinstate the fired commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier following an investigation of leadership’s handling of a coronavirus outbreak onboard in March.
A congressional aide confirmed to The Hill that the service will uphold its firing of Capt. Brett Crozier, who was removed from his post after a letter he wrote pleading for help with the outbreak leaked in the media.
The Navy will also place a hold on the promotion of Rear Adm. Stu Baker, the one-star commander of Carrier Strike Group 9 and the senior officer onboard the Roosevelt at the time of the COVID-19 outbreak, the source said.
