Reports suggest that the US Navy is sending the USS George Washington to West Asia to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed for more than 250 days. The Lincoln has also gone 200 days without a port call, raising concerns among lawmakers about crew welfare, basic supplies, plumbing, mail disruptions, exhaustion and mental health. In this Firstpost Live episode, we analyse how the carrier was redirected to West Asia in January and played a key role in US operations against Iran. The George Washington's deployment was previously scheduled, but its arrival could finally allow the Lincoln and its crew to return home.
