Joe Courtney (CT-02), Ranking Member of the House Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, Wesley Bell (MO-01), Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) and 49 colleagues in sending a letter to Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao expressing concern for the personnel and material readiness of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and requesting information on the ship’s deployment and future. “Like the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) before it, CVN-72’s extended deployment is accompanied by deeply troubling reports about sailors’ mental health and living conditions. These reports are not political conjecture; they come from sailors’ worried family members,” the lawmakers wrote. “Navy leadership took the appropriate step in meeting to address families’ concerns, but there remains more to be done to ensure that the families and the public have faith that these sailors are being taken care of and that the Department is appropriately managing the fleet and its readiness for Operation Epic Fury.” Read the full letter here.	1	2026-08-19T05:29:02Z	2026-08-19T05:30:24Z
