Per several news reports today less than half of the aircraft carrier crew testing positive were symptomatic.

This is clearly a younger and fitter sample base than cruise ships - I foresee many published studies comparing these two sample types.

Hopefully they will follow up on the asymptomatic cases for 3 weeks or so. We need to know how many of these positive cases become symptomatic. That will give us a better idea of the scope of this issue. One would assume that in 3 or 4 days most of the people who are going to have symptoms will have them, but given that this virus has properties we didn't expect, it is better to be sure, especially while we have a captive test group.
