Sailors Try to Jump Ship From USS Abraham Lincoln During Record-Long Mission
Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln tried to jump overboard in a mental health crisis; at least one was rescued, per Navy Times, Stars and Stripes, and CNN. The ship's 5,000-plus crew has been at sea almost seven months without stopping at any port — the longest for a US carrier. Their mission was extended past May due to the US-Israel war with Iran. Families report suicidal thoughts, supply shortages, and water contamination. Senate Democrats want Congress to visit.
