Mental Health Crisis Onboard USS Abraham Lincoln Intensifies
The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for a record-breaking 250 days, with its 5,000 sailors and marines facing poor conditions and mental stresses. Reports have emerged of sailors attempting to jump overboard, with military families and Congress members sounding the alarm about a growing mental health crisis onboard. The situation has been exacerbated by the war with Iran, with the deployment being extended multiple times. This was first reported by the Navy Times and the Stars and Stripes.
