Navy Says There's No Mental Health Crisis on One of Its Ships — Reports Say Otherwise
The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea over 250 days without stopping at any port — the longest stretch in Navy history — with more than 5,000 crew aboard. News outlets report sailors tried jumping overboard as food ran short and plumbing failed. A US official told Al Jazeera the Navy saw no rise in suicide attempts. Acting Navy Secretary Cao admitted only "a small number of mental health cases." Lawmakers want a formal investigation.
