Crisis on the High Seas: When Patriotism is No Excuse for Neglect The USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier supporting the war against Iran, has been at sea for over 260 days, making it one of the longest deployments in modern history.
The crew's mental health crisis has been a subject of concern for families and legislators alike, with reports of multiple attempts by servicemembers to jump off the ship. Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U. S.
Central Command, recently visited the Lincoln, praising its crew but claiming that mental health cases are relatively low compared to other aircraft carriers.
