Families of USS Lincoln crew say Trump should be 'ashamed' of conditions on board

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for close to nine months — well beyond the Navy's typical 6–8 month carrier window — with the USS George Washington now en route to relieve it. Trump called the deployment ‘not nearly long enough’ as families describe depression, food shortages, and plumbing failures; the Navy disputes the severity but not that hardship occurred, saying no one died and meals were never fully skipped.
