As I'm far from good when it comes to understand english terms... what do they mean by fired? Does it mean just that he is no longer the ship captain or was he fired from the navy?

mentions 'relieved of command', so I'm inclined to think he's still with the navy (?)

If someone is removed from military service, we use 'discharged', rather than 'fired'. In the case of a commissioned officer, his commission could be revoked, but that would be unusual. It might impair the President's authority to recall him to service.

Out of quarantine and back in San Diego, Capt. Brett Crozier has reunited with his wife, Mary, a Navy spokesman said Wednesday of the former commander of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.

You must not be keeping up with the news. The Navy has recommended reinstating him to his position.

And now, they've changed their minds.

In major reversal, Navy opts to uphold firing of aircraft carrier captain who warned about Coronavirus outbreak

Not surprised.

Based on the findings, Crozier and Baker would be able to remain in the Navy and move on to other jobs at their current rank, but the admonishments are likely career-enders for both men. Crozier’s firing upset the carrier’s crew, and he received an ovation as he walked off the ship.

Glad they are safe.

Huh. Not a clue why they had to eject or where the plane went (into the drink, one assumes).

 

[berkeman]

They realized they forgot their masks and couldn't social distance correctly. No choice but to pull the handles and hope the parachutes didn't come too close...

Why?

Oh, I'm sure they had their reasons.

Seriously, they won't announce why until there's been an investigation, if ever. But this is not something that's done lightly.
