CNN Nine months at sea wear Abraham Lincoln crew
The American aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln" conducted one of the longest deployment periods in the history of the U.S. Navy, spending about nine months outside port engaged in military operations against Iran, without stopping at allied ports to resupply. The prolonged deployment conditions led to shortages of food and hygiene supplies, water issues, and heightened psychological stress among the crew, with concerns about morale declining and rising ideas of suicide, despite the Navy denying any increase in such thoughts. The crew is suffering from deteriorating basic services, delayed supplies, and intensified mental stress due to the lengthy mission. Meanwhile, other forces are taking on some tasks to lighten the load on the "Lincoln." The sailors' families criticized the rushed action of officials and the lack of early intervention to support them, calling for more compassion, amid statements from former U.S. President Trump claiming that the deployment duration is not long enough.
