USS Lincoln Under Fire Over Sailor Welfare | New Orleans News
Description
Tensions simmer as senators grill the Pentagon over alleged mental health crises aboard the USS Lincoln, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismisses the claims as “completely misrepresented.” The Navy renews its blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz — a bold move amid stalled diplomacy and no clear endgame under the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the USS George Washington heads to replace the Lincoln in the region, and though officials say no spike in suicide attempts has been detected, they withhold data for security reasons — including a mysterious sailor who went overboard in August, recovered but not officially labeled a suicide case.
