US urges probe into Abraham Lincoln conditions
Democratic members of the U.S. Congress have called for clarification regarding the conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, following reports of food shortages, plumbing system failures, and deteriorating mental health among the crew during its longest deployment in history, which lasted over 250 days. These issues also included water pollution and logistical and health challenges. The lawmakers expressed concern about the harsh living conditions, emphasizing the need to investigate these incidents and the risks they pose to the crew's safety, especially given reports of suicide attempts and long shift hours. It is noted that the ship was on a mission across the Pacific Ocean and the Middle East, amid calls for an official visit to investigate the onboard living conditions.
