Uss Abraham Lincoln

Following reports of crew mental health struggles and supply shortages, the USS Abraham Lincoln has ended its 270-day mission and is returning to the US. It will be replaced by the USS George Washington.

The United States Central Command announced on Thursday that the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and its strike group have entered the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The carrier arrived in the Arabian Sea to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln.

The 'Lincoln' operated for about 250 consecutive days at sea, and the decision to replace it leaves the US without an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean. The war has stretched the Navy to the limit - while China's shipbuilding capacity is about 230 times greater than that of the US. Donald Trump is indeed determined to change the situation - but his aesthetic demands may make it difficult.

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln will return to the US after more than 260 days of operations and will be replaced by the USS George Washington. Background: reports of spoiled food, mental distress, and difficult conditions on deck.

Criticism continues against the US Secretary of Defense regarding the deterioration of service conditions aboard the aircraft carrier 'Abraham Lincoln'. This time, it comes from the political arena in the United States.

Families of sailors on the aircraft carrier report severe mental distress, suicide attempts, and poor living conditions, while the US Navy claims there has been no increase in reports of suicidal thoughts and that the crew is receiving medical and mental support.
