Families of USS Abraham Lincoln sailors say the roughly 5,000 crew face food shortages and plumbing failures after nearly nine months at sea. Asked Friday whether the deployment had run too long, President Trump said it was "not nearly long enough." Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said meal plans were "adjusted" with no meal missed, and that calls home were "limited when the operational threat was too high." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called media reports misrepresented. Sen. Ruben Gallego has asked that a bipartisan House-Senate group be allowed aboard to verify conditions.
