Navy Secretary Reports Sailor Suicide Attempts
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged that there were eight suicide attempts among U.S. Navy personnel during the deployment of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East, according to a letter sent by acting U.S. Secretary of the Navy Hong Cabo to Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. No suicides were recorded during the deployment period, but one attempt was documented when a sailor jumped from the aircraft wing on the ship and was quickly rescued. Previous reports had indicated a decline in mental health conditions aboard the carrier, prompting criticism regarding the impact of military operations on Navy personnel.
