USS Abraham Lincoln sailors stuck at sea for 260 days while brass downplays it
Life on a record-breaking deployment seems to be falling apart, but Washington is busy debating if the sailors are even struggling.
The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for over 260 days, and the vibe is reportedly far from patriotic. Families say sailors are trying to jump overboard, dealing with moldy showers, and running out of fresh food. Meanwhile, the brass is doing their best impression of a 'this is fine' meme.
Navy Secretary Hung Cao (male) tried to dismiss the reports by claiming the media is just painting the crew as victims. Even President Donald Trump (male) chimed in, suggesting that a 260-day deployment is actually not long enough. While the top brass tours the region, the actual people living on the ship are hitting a breaking point.
It turns out that when you keep people in a floating metal box for nearly a year without proper planning, they eventually stop caring about grand strategic goals and start caring about basic sanity.
