Everett-based USS Kidd scheduled to return home in August
EVERETT — The USS Kidd is scheduled to return to its home port of Naval Station Everett in August, the ship’s commanding officer, Cmdr. Nathan Wemett, said in a phone call with reporters Thursday.
COVID-19 spread through the ship last month during deployment in an operation to stop drug trafficking near South America. The Kidd had been at sea since January.
Of the ship’s roughly 300-member crew, nearly 80 sailors have tested positive for the disease, Wemett said.
It’s not clear how the outbreak started.
