While Trump said he had “heard good things” about both Crozier and Modly, he did not approve of the letter Crozier had written detailing that his sailors were ill.
“It shows weakness. And there's nothing weak about us now. Not anymore,” Trump said. “We don't want to have letter-writing campaigns where the fake news finds a letter, gets a leak. We don't want that.”

I doubt anyone advised SECNAV to go do that talk. Not a wise move. As SECNAV, he has others to handle this directly.
Irrespective of that, Crozier deserved to be fired for his actions. None of us would have accepted that sort of thing from an O-3.
