A multi-billion-dollar Navy warship on America's east coast remains docked and 'out of commission' because it's commanded by an officer who refuses to get the vaccine for religious reasons, Navy officials say. An ongoing legal battle between the US' Department of Defense and the unnamed officer has left the battleship docked and unable to deploy, as officials from the military branch look to nix the serviceman for the refusal - despite a federal judge's recent ruling that he can't be fired for declining the vaccine on religious grounds. The case is part of a class action suit filed in federal court late last year, alleging servicemembers’ rights are being infringed upon due to military branches' COVID vaccine mandates, after they were denied religious exemption requests for the jab.
