Navy Charges Sailor Who Jumped Overboard from USS Abraham Lincoln with Malingering

After 250-plus consecutive days at sea supporting operations against Iran, multiple sailors tried jumping overboard, Navy Times reports. Charging documents accuse one sailor under UCMJ Article 83 — malingering, or intentionally injuring oneself to avoid duty — and Article 86, absence without leave. The deployment also saw supply and water shortages and declining crew mental health.
