8 US sailors from carrier strike group attempted suicide during operations against Iran: CNN

Eight US Navy personnel assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group attempted suicide during a recent deployment. The incidents were confirmed in a letter from the acting secretary of the Navy, which was obtained and reported by media outlets on Wednesday. The carrier strike group had been operating in the region during tensions involving Iran.

The USS Abraham Lincoln, which carries a crew of approximately 5,000 sailors, set a record for the longest continuous period at sea without a port call during this deployment. The disclosure of the suicide attempts has drawn attention to the operational pressures faced by the crew during the extended mission.
