Centcom rejects reports of soldiers dying aboard USS Abraham Lincoln
The US Central Command (Centcom) has debunked reports alleging the deaths of service members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during its Middle Eastern deployment. A post on the command's X account stated unequivocally that "NO service members aboard the aircraft carrier have died."
