USS Abraham Lincoln Deployment Under Fire | California News

The USS Abraham Lincoln, stuck at sea for over 250 days, faces mounting scrutiny as senators and families raise alarms over supply shortages, water issues, and mental health crises aboard. The Navy defends its operations in a volatile region, citing mission priorities and claiming clean water, AC, and decent meals — while acknowledging one sailor went overboard but was rescued. Family advocates push for answers and congressional oversight amid reports of severe distress, including suicide attempts. Navy officials dispute the severity, saying no deaths have occurred and that support systems are active. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls the situation misrepresented, praising sailors’ resilience under punishing conditions with limited port access.
