"The fact that he wrote the letter up to his chain of command to express his concerns would absolutely not result in any type of retaliation," Modly said.

"This ship has weapons on it. It has munitions on it... It requires a certain number of people on that ship to maintain the safety and security of the ship," Modly said. As a U.S. Navy commander, Menoni said,"We have a moral obligation ... to look after our folks because they're the biggest part of any effective weapon system."
