It's tragic when anyone commits suicide.

What I wanna know is what in the hell is going on onboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON to cause all those sailors to commit suicide. 3 killed themselves in just one week. Apparently, it's because the shipyard living conditions suck worse than they usually do, and they haven't come up with a solution yet.

I know shipyard life is bad. The hours are long, it's dirty and noisy, but apparently, things have gone from bad to worse with this shipyard period for the carrier.

Sailors say aircraft carrier that had multiple suicides occur among crew was uninhabitable

The commanding officer stood before the sailors of the USS George Washington's security team. One of their own, Xavier Sandor, had taken his life a few weeks earlier in mid-April, and the captain had come down to speak with the 110 or so young men and women who worked closely with him.
