According to CNN, the US Navy Criminal Investigation Agency and local authorities are investigating these deaths.
One crew member was found unresponsive on the aircraft carrier on April 15, while the other two crew members were found dead on April 9 and 10.
While the incidents are still under investigation, there is no initial indication of a correlation between the disasters, said Navy spokesman Reann Mommsen.
The US Navy did not specify the cause of the deaths of any of the three crew members, but the special psychopath intervention team was dispatched to the ship. These groups are tasked with providing mental health support in the short term after painful incidents, such as deaths.
The US Navy identified the sailor who died on April 9 as a class 3 retail service expert Mikail Sharp. The pilot who was found dead on April 10 was Grade 3 internal communications electrician Natasha Huffman. The Navy has not yet identified the third crew member, who was found unresponsive on the ship on April 15 and had died.
"We would like to express our condolences to the families, friends and crew members of the crew," said Mommsen.
