Senate calls for Lincoln investigation
Democratic members of the U.S. Congress have called for an investigation into the conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln following reports of food shortages, disrupted plumbing systems, and psychological crises among its crew members during its longest naval deployment in history, which lasted over 250 days, with the ship staying at sea for more than 200 days without making landings. The lawmakers pointed to the deterioration of crew conditions, including health and mental issues, such as suicides and attempts, along with a decline in basic services like water and sanitation. They expressed concerns for the safety of the personnel and their families, urging transparency. Senator Ruben Gallego called for an official visit to investigate the situation aboard the ship, amid rising reports of harsh living conditions.
