Modly is toured through the patient transfer process at the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy , Tuesday, March 31, 2020. Modly relieved Crozier of command of the ship last week, saying he had lost confidence in him.

“The spoken words were from the heart, and meant for them,” Modly said, referring to the crew. “I stand by every word I said, even, regrettably any profanity that may have been used for emphasis. Anyone who has served on a Navy ship would understand. I ask, but don’t expect, that people read them in their entirety.”

Modly also accused Crozier of betraying his duty as an officer, while noting that he had come under heavy criticism for having fired him. The reports of Modly making harsh accusations about Crozier during a speech to the crew on Sunday drew a rebuke by a leading Democrat on Capitol Hill. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, said Modly was out of line.
