What did the record deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln cost its crew?

The aircraft carrier finally returned to San Diego to reunite with cheering families, after spending nearly eleven months deployed and making only one brief port stop in Pattaya.

It stayed at sea for 265 consecutive days without a port call before the Pattaya stop.

Reports of low morale and supply shortages drew scrutiny, while families struggled to communicate with loved ones. Partner Alba Solano described the isolation: The phone calls were horrible. They never worked. He could hear us, but we could not hear him.

Addressing concerns over shipboard conditions, a Navy response to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand acknowledged 8 suicide attempts among crew members, none of them fatal.
