“Why did he take the ship to Vietnam?

Retired Navy Officer here. The Navy decides on port visits. He was required to make the port call.The other ships of the Strike Group also stopped in Vietnam. They likely also had infected sailors. They still have their commands because they handled the situation appropriately.

“Why did he wait?”

He didn’t. According to a statement from the Pentagon yesterday, he had contacted higher authority and they were sending help.
