Expert: US faces consequences of reduced Navy
Reports have indicated that the U.S. Navy is experiencing a decline in morale and worsening living conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, due to shipbuilding decisions made decades ago. It has been clarified that the American fleet is no longer able to keep up with the scale of missions because of a reduced number of ships, with the recurring issue of the Lincoln carrier being deployed for 200 days being linked to a shortage of vessels. Compared to the Gulf War in 1991, when the U.S. dispatched 6 carriers out of 15, only three carriers have been deployed at maximum capacity for several days in the current conflict, with technical problems and operational disruptions affecting some ships, such as the USS Ford, which recently completed a record-breaking deployment of 326 days, participating in operations against Iran and Venezuela. The Defense Secretary confirmed that reports about conditions aboard the Lincoln have been “completely distorted,” emphasizing that the Navy is committed to providing full support to the crew and ships.
