Not certain. Thinking back, the carrier was en route to Korean waters and was diverted to Fukushima. I don't know the dates and times. It's plausible that the ship was in contaminated waters before people knew it was a serious danger.
One would think that the CO would be a bit cautious. This wasn't a war zone, there was no reason to enter potential mortal danger to his crew.
You raise a good point.
On another subject, I wonder if the vessel went into the yards after Fukushima. I'd sure want the ventilation system scrupulously checked and the FW systems thoroughly flushed.
