A second U.S. Navy ship has been struck by an outbreak of the CCP virus while at sea, according to the Pentagon.

The USS Kidd, a destroyer currently deployed to the Caribbean on a counter-narcotics mission, is the second Navy ship to be hit by the virus, after an outbreak on the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt that began last month.
