The USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed for more than nine months and set a record of 260 uninterrupted days at sea, is facing reports of food shortages, broken plumbing, and mental health crises among its crew. Sailors have reportedly considered or attempted to jump overboard, with at least one sailor going overboard earlier this month and being rescued. Navy families and Congressional Democrats are expressing concerns about the extended deployment and deteriorating conditions aboard the vessel, and another aircraft carrier is being sent to relieve it.
