Sailor Faces Navy Discipline After Suicide Attempt on USS Abraham Lincoln
A 19-year-old sailor aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln reportedly attempted suicide on August 3 during the carrier's extended deployment. Wearing a life jacket, he was rescued after about an hour and medically evaluated before evacuation. The sailor faces non-judicial punishment under military law. His wife stated he had sought mental health support multiple times, which she claims was dismissed. The Navy's handling of mental health during prolonged deployments remains under scrutiny as the USS George Washington assumes the Lincoln's mission.
