They did NOT decommission the captain. He retained his rank and remains in the Navy. They relieved him of command.
I agree about Trump but please be more accurate and refrain from baseless conspiracy theories.
I am trying to get the unbiased reports from the critically thinking theists. I'm not too swift, as you know; I only watch FauxNews and I can't tell when Trump lies and when the Trumpettes lie for him.
So they did not decommission the captain - he's still on the pay-roll, and I think I saw a report that they are considering returning him to duty. They decommissioned the Secretary of the Navy. He did something wrong - he did not want the ship to isolate - he wanted it to keep steaming on.

“After mismanaging the Covid-19 outbreak on the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, it became obvious that Acting Secretary Modly had forfeited his ability to lead the Navy,” Representative Adam Smith, Democrat of Washington and the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement. “His actions had become a distraction at a time when we need the Navy to be focused on preserving the safety of our sailors and maintaining the readiness of our fleet.”
Or maybe, the Captain maybe got the virus, and asked to be relieved to isolate, because he knew he was going to go into the unconsciousness of a fever, and/or he realized that the crew needed to be isolated, anyway; so he told the other ships in his fleet that he was going to park the ship in Guam immediately.
