US lawmakers seek probe into Abraham Lincoln carrier conditions
Several Democratic members of the U.S. Congress have called for an investigation into the conditions of the crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, following reports revealing food shortages, malfunctioning plumbing systems, and mental health crises among the crew during their longest deployment to date, which lasted over 250 days without docking. Senator Richard Blumenthal emphasized the importance of clarifying the Navy's situation, urging for a joint oversight visit to investigate the issues that persisted throughout the mission, which began in November 2025 and shifted its focus from the South China Sea to the Middle East. This comes amid increasing reports of poor working conditions, including water shortages, lack of basic supplies, psychological stress, and suicide attempts among the crew.
