Last spring, Crisostomo, an aviation boatswain’s mate handler on the USS George Washington, had been moved to night-shift repair duties.

Amid disorganization on the ship during an extensive overhaul, she said she was constantly berated for things out of her control.

Crisostomo & several other George Washington sailors said they didn't get resources they seeked and stayed in uninhabitable living conditions aboard the ship, including a lack of hot water & electricity.

“There is no putting in your two-week notice and getting out,” she said.

5 shipmates on the George Washington have died by suicide in the last year, including 3 within a span of a week this April.

The latest cluster is under investigation by the Navy, drawing concern from the Pentagon & U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria, who served in the Navy for two decades.

After the 3 suicides this month, the Navy said it sent a special psychiatric rapid intervention team to counsel those serving on the ship.

In a statement, the Navy said it was a “resilient force,” but “not immune from the same challenges that affect the nation that we serve.”

“Being in the Navy was all I ever wanted,” said Crisostomo, who enlisted when she was 17. “I wanted to be part of something big to help the country. I got robbed of that, and I didn’t deserve it.”
