Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal is pressing the Pentagon for answers over the poor conditions faced by sailors on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, including 'broken toilets' and inadequate mental health support during its 264-day deployment in support of the war with Iran. A letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and acting Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro calls for improvements in these areas.
