Sailors' crisis on USS Abraham Lincoln

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for over eight months in the Middle East, with sailors reporting dire conditions including food shortages, broken plumbing, and a mental health crisis that has led to multiple suicide attempts.

President Donald Trump dismissed the reports, stating the deployment was 'not nearly long enough' and questioning the credibility of the claims.

The Navy has dispatched the USS Washington to replace the Lincoln, but not before the crisis has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and military families.

A sailor's wife publicly blasted Trump for his dismissive remarks, calling the ship a 'floating metal prison.'
