8 sailors attempted suicide amid prolonged USS Lincoln deployment: US Navy
Eight sailors assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group have attempted suicide during its deployment, according to the US Navy. This revelation comes after mounting concerns over the impact of the mission on the well-being of the service members. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao made the announcement in a letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who had inquired about the sailors' welfare.
The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea since November, with its deployment extended multiple times due to its deployment in the Middle East following US attacks on Iran in February. The ship, which carries around 5,000 personnel, is now returning to the United States.
