USS Lincoln returns home after record 10-month at sea & reported suicide attempts by sailors. After a prolonged 10-month deployment during the Iran war, with 265 consecutive days at sea, USS Abraham Lincoln has returned to its home port. The vessel's record deployment led to sailors reporting low morale, mental health issues and suicide attempts amid deteriorating conditions and food shortages aboard. "[At] a certain point I thought I'd [never] come off," a sailor said.
