Navy Faced Mental Health and Long Deployment Concerns Before USS Lincoln

Families of marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are reporting food shortages, plumbing failures, and mental health crises during a deployment exceeding 200 days in the Middle East. While lawmakers demand answers regarding the impact of the Iran war on military personnel, the Navy denies reports of a mental health crisis. The San Diego-based aircraft carrier has been deployed for nearly nine months without a confirmed return date, raising significant concerns among families and military officials.
