Officials Demand USS Abraham Lincoln Investigation as Families Raise Alarm

Democratic senators are demanding an investigation from the Pentagon regarding conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. The aircraft carrier has spent nearly nine months at sea during a record-setting deployment. Lawmakers are raising alarms after reports indicated that the extended deployment has caused a severe mental toll on the 5,000 sailors and Marines. Specifically, reports from Navy Times suggest that at least two sailors attempted to jump overboard due to the grind of the mission.
