USS Lincoln Endures Multiple Suicide Attempts
The U.S. Navy revealed that there were eight suicide attempts among the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during a deployment lasting 286 days under harsh conditions characterized by low morale and a shortage of psychological and health resources. Although no actual suicides were recorded, the number is considered very high compared to the usual rates, which typically range from one or two attempts annually. This coincided with deteriorating living conditions on board, including the repeated closure of essential facilities, declining morale, and an increase in suicidal thoughts among crew members, amid ongoing intense military operations in the Middle East. This human and psychological crisis has sparked political criticism and highlighted the need for greater psychological and medical support for Navy personnel during their long missions.
