Not nearly long enough,\u201d he said, before walking off to board Air Force One on a trip to New York.<\/p>\n<p>The dismissive response came as Lincoln finds itself at the center of a growing political storm over the human cost of the Trump administration\u2019s war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>About 200 relatives attended a town hall last week with Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and other senior military officials, raising concerns about exhaustion, mental health, food and water shortages, plumbing problems, sanitation and disrupted mail. <\/p>\n<p> A pair of military outlets\u2014the Stars and Stripes and the Navy Times\u2014report that several sailors have attempted to go overboard or have gone overboard on the Lincoln, with one sailor reportedly in the water for an hour before being rescued. <\/p>\n<p>Loved ones shared texts with MeidasTouch claiming the ship can\u2019t get any fresh food, and that even some once-frozen meat arrives rotten. A sailor\u2019s family member also told MS NOW that their loved one has been eating \u201chalf a cup of rice and two tortillas\u201d a day.<\/p>\n<p>Family members have also described out-of-service toilets and laundry rooms that have been inaccessible for weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5381\">Trump Superstore Owner Reveals Embarrassing Reason He\u2019s Closing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The carrier has been at sea for eight-and-a-half months, much longer than the typical deployment of about six months.<\/p>\n<p>But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has brushed off the reports as \u201cmisrepresented,\u201d while the Navy disputes some of the most serious allegations, saying it has not seen an increase in suicidal ideation and that mental-health resources remain available. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe \u200bmake sure every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide \u200bthem at every single moment,\u201c Hegseth told reporters \u200bduring a visit to Panama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome deployments are longer than others, and \u2060I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in \u200bthose high seas in those austere conditions with less port calls\u2014it\u2019s incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Friday also appeared to confirm reports that the Lincoln was now being relieved of duty by the carrier USS George Washington. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat ship is moving right now, or very shortly, and it\u2019s being replaced with another very similar ship,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Democrats are demanding answers. \u201cThese reports warrant immediate attention,\u201d said Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal in a letter to Hegseth and Cao.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cBut they also raise a broader question: whether the Navy can sustain the operational tempo now being demanded of its carrier force, particularly as this Administration repeatedly commits U.S. forces to conflicts of its own choosing and increasingly relies on aircraft carriers to sustain those operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5380\">Luigi Mangione Changes His Plea and Makes Stunning Admission<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump had a stunningly dismissive message for the families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln who have raised alarms about their loved ones\u2019 deteriorating conditions.
