USS Abraham Lincoln Conditions and Naval Morale Controversy
Reports from MS Now and CBS News highlight allegedly "austere" and "brutally demanding" conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during its nine-month deployment in the war against Iran. Family members of the 5,000-person crew cite non-operational toilets, moldy showers, and food shortages. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump have dismissed these claims as misrepresented or fake news intended to influence the midterm elections.
