Two Sailors from USS George Washington Found Dead

Two sailors from the USS George Washington, Cuyler Burnett Condon and Dimitri Morales, were found dead in separate incidents shortly after the aircraft carrier arrived at its new homeport in Yokosuka, Japan. Condon was discovered unresponsive on November 22 in an on-base hotel, while Morales was found three days later in an off-base location. The causes of their deaths remain unclear and are currently under investigation by both the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and local authorities. This tragic event follows a troubling history for the USS George Washington, which previously experienced multiple suicides during a drydocking period in 2022. In response to these incidents and reports of drunken behavior among the crew, Navy officials have imposed restrictions on alcohol consumption for sailors. Grief counseling services are being provided to support the crew and the families of the deceased.
