"The sailors had been punished for refusing to go back to work in what they considered to be an unsafe environment. Their prosecution took place at a time when the U.S. military was still segregated and reflected the unfair treatment that Black sailors experienced."

This was a Department of the Navy action. This falls under DOD and SECNAV, not POTUS.
