A sailor went overboard earlier this month off of the USS Abraham Lincoln, three US officials told CNN, amid reports of worsening mental health for crew members on the ship during an extended deployment for the Iran war.
The sailor was rescued within an hour, according to one of the officials, and was medically evaluated. A different official said that the sailor had gone overboard wearing a life vest and was not injured, adding that the Navy considered the incident a mental health episode.

Add to that the war on diversity, which it seems like those in the Navy would be particularly sensitive about, and this is what you get.
Sounds like this is a sailor that regretted enlisting but not enough to jump without a life vest. Wonder what he would have done in Vietnam with a 12 month tour.
Does anyone trust CNN?
the sailor had gone overboard wearing a life vest
He would be snowflake age, I have seen these kids almost break down when l tell them my order is wrong.
All ships have at least one weirdo aboard. If he can’t handle it, kick him out. Today’s generation is weak. I used to spend weeks loading projectiles into the gun during war games and practice. We only came up to eat and shower.
Good question! He wouldn’t do well at all in combat I would imagine
One complaint I read was that they there has been no milk and they have to eat cereal dry. If powdered milk was good for soldiers in the past, it's good enough for these guys. And I don't believe a lot of what I read. Did they think they were going to a Five Star hotel??
Me too. They can’t handle much.
4000 sailors on the Abraham Lincoln and they found ONE who wasn’t happy?
Faux News led off their prime time “news” broadcast tonight with this story.
The execrable Brett Baier was oh-so-concerned while the disgusting communist Jennifer Griffin could barely contain her glee.
Guess they’ve really got ol’ Pistol Pete with the goods this time, huh?
BTW, I’ve done about a half-dozen deployments back in the day; on every one we always had 2-3 sailors disappear, usually on the first night out of Norfolk. Fools thought they could swim 20 miles back to the beach.
Life on nuclear carrier is a lot better than life was back in WWII or Korea
It’s a f*cking WAR ship for crying out loud not a Carnival Cruise. And they weren’t even under attack! I’da left that stupid idiot in the water and continued on our way. Swim for home you dumb*ss.
I’ve been on a small carrier/LHA in a war zone during the first Iranian dust up.
We did 105 days continuous at sea. Drank that beer on steel beach.
It was hard work, but we could have done another hundred days. The only thing we ran short of was fresh vegetables and milk.
I’m more concerned with this concerted effort by media...aided by a dozen pussies aboard...to undermine the esteem these sailors warrant. As always, getting the job done.
Bravo Abe Lincoln, BRAVO!!
“disruptions in the mail system, which have caused many care packages in route to the ship to be lost in transit for months.”
He could say that about the USPS in the states.
You buy that crap?
“widespread ‘reports’” = *MAYBE* one or two pajama-boy sailors = widespread anti-USA, anti-military, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA bullshit ... period ...
I haven’t watched cable news for years now. This kind of hit job reminds me why I was so happy to cut the cord.
I would buy it in a pinch....otherwise, I drink whole milk every day. I’m 82.
Hell No.
