Why are so many sailors on a navy air craft carrier killing themselves?
That's what many people want to know after three crew members of the USS George H.W. Bush committed suicide last week.
The deaths occurred in separate, unrelated incidents
.
They bring the total number of suicides among crew members on the nuclear-powered warship to five in the past two years.
The ship's captain issued a statement encouraging any sailor who needs help to seek it.
He says psychologists, counselors, and chaplains are on board at all times.
The Nimitz-class air craft carrier is currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia.
