The U.S. Navy has opened an investigation into the deaths of seven sailors assigned to the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, including three deaths that took place in a span of just a week this month.

“We can confirm seven total deaths of service members assigned to USS George Washington over the past 12 months—4 in 2021, and 3 in 2022. The circumstances surrounding these incidents vary and it is premature to make assumptions, as some incidents remain under investigation,” Naval Air Force Atlantic spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Robert Myers said in a statement, according to the United States Navy Institute (USNI) News.
