Story summary

Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, visited the USS Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday before its return to San Diego on Thursday after a record-breaking 265-day deployment supporting the war against Iran. Hegseth bestowed upon the crew the Presidential Unit Citation, typically awarded for significant combat achievements, despite reports of stress and supply shortages during their long deployment. The ship's extended mission drew national attention amid concerns over crew welfare and morale issues, including suicide attempts and shortages of basic supplies like food and hygiene products. Despite these challenges, Hegseth praised the sailors' resilience and dedication, emphasizing their role in a critical military operation overseen by President Donald Trump.
