California lawmakers led by Representative Mike Levin demand answers from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao about the situation on board the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been on deployment for nine months.
The vessel left San Diego in the US state of California on November 21, 2025.
In a post on X, Democratic Congressman Levin shared a letter signed by four US lawmakers, stating that “the plans in the works to relieve the USS Lincoln are not enough”.
“We need clear and honest information from the Department of Defense about the operational failures that led to the problems aboard the USS Lincoln to ensure this never happens again,” the letter added.
“Why weren’t unsanitary conditions immediately addressed? Why didn’t service members receive adequate mental health support? Why did the Navy not communicate these problems early and often to families and the appropriate government officials?” it asked.
Hegseth rejected reports of worsening conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, calling the reports “completely misrepresented”.
