A U.S. Navy Ship Has Been at Sea for Over 250 Days, and Lawmakers Want Answers

A U.S. aircraft carrier has stayed at sea over 250 straight days without stopping at port — a modern record — and no return date is set. Sailors reportedly faced food shortages, unsafe water, broken plumbing, and suicide attempts. Defense Secretary Hegseth called the reports "completely misrepresented." Senator Blumenthal is demanding explanations. The ship was sent to the Middle East before February's Iran attacks.
