With travel orders and emails about the travel to an aircraft carrier not even allowed to list the carrier name (it's USS Boat) I'd say it's possible this info could be considered classified.
Of course it is POSSIBLE that it could be, but I haven't seen anything that is within the text chain that would be. Not to mention, again, that in this instance there were multiple players that hold original classification authority and every single one says it wasn't classified making your "possible' a non-starter.

Classification is usually done IAW a SCG. If there's a conflict the SCG wins unless a "higher" authority overrules it. But of course this breaks down at the top because they can all change their minds willy nilly and say " I am the highest classification authority, so suck it". But we all know if it had been rank-and-file who did this they would have been crucified.

Given that OCAs are responsible for preparing and updating SCGs they are the plank holders. And as far as I can tell there were no rank and file involved in any of this and I am betting that if any were involved someone would have piped up asking who this "JG" person was right from the get go.

Well one good thing will come from this. The Atlantic will no longer receive subscription money from the federal govt.
And you often do not know about a problem until you have a problem. This is a crack, find out why and make a permanent fix.

She asked, “Did this group chat break the law?”

Raskin said, “Most certainly it did and it reflects a general sloppiness and negligence in the whole approach of the administration. As they’ve gotten started here they’ve been struck down more than 40 different times by federal courts with temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions, because they’ve acted in such a cavalier disregard of what the rule of law requires.”

He continued, “And this example you’re pointing to, Kasie, obviously, is with respect to operational implementation of some plans. But if you look at what the underlying plan was, it’s Congress that declares war on Venezuela or on Yemen. It’s not the President of the United States. So it’s both this tremendous operational negligence and sloppiness that has been shown, but also the idea that they act in complete defiance of what the Constitution says and what the rule of law stands for.”
Translation: "Trump's adherence to the law is interfering with our lawlessness!"
