Some 26 ships w/ coronavirus cases

WASHINGTON - There are currently coronavirus cases on 26 Navy ships. Fourteen others have been hit by the virus, but the crews impacted have recovered, according to a senior Navy official. The 26 ships with current cases are in ports or maintenance yards, the official added. The Navy does not now release the names or exact numbers of cases on those ships impacted due to Pentagon policy that states it would risk operational security if made public. There are about 90 ships at sea with no reported cases. The Navy currently has 297 active duty warships.
