USS Lincoln Under Fire Over Mental Health | Annapolis News
Description
The USS Lincoln, stationed in the Middle East amid ongoing tensions with Iran, is under fire for alleged mental health crises among its crew — though Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismisses the reports as exaggerated. Despite recent de-escalation with Iran, the Navy maintains its blockade of Hormuz ports, with no clear endgame in sight. The USS George Washington is now en route to replace the Lincoln, signaling continued military presence. While the Navy claims no uptick in suicidal incidents aboard the Lincoln, it refuses to release data citing privacy, leaving questions unanswered — including about a sailor who went overboard in early August and was recovered without confirmation of intent.
