Pentagon deploys USS George Washington to relieve USS Abraham Lincoln amidst sailor morale concerns

The Pentagon is deploying the USS George Washington aircraft carrier to the Middle East to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been on an extended deployment for over eight months. This move comes after reports of deteriorating living conditions and a growing mental health crisis among sailors aboard the Lincoln, including instances of moldy showers, plumbing issues, food shortages, and at least two attempted suicides.
