War Strains on Lincoln Carrier

The crew of the American aircraft carrier "U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln" faced significant psychological pressure throughout their deployment in the Gulf and the Middle East, with the service period totaling 286 consecutive days. An official report revealed eight suicide attempts among the crew members, including at least two involving jumps from the ship—a remarkably high number compared to previous seasons, which usually recorded one or two incidents annually. This was attributed to difficult living conditions, fatigue, and a shortage of certain facilities, despite the presence of mental health resources and specialists on board. Although American officials denied any suicides and considered the situation normal, families and crew members pointed to a decline in morale, compounded by ongoing water shortages, poor environmental conditions, and reduced food options due to the prioritization of military operations against Iran, amid continued regional tensions.
