A US aircraft carrier is headed to the Middle East to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, on which thousands of sailors have reportedly faced food shortages and difficult conditions on an extended, nine-month deployment. The USS George Washington, which was near Malaysia on Thursday, could arrive in the region in about nine days, BBC analysis shows. Family members of sailors onboard the Lincoln have expressed concern about their mental health deteriorating due to the conditions. While the US Navy has acknowledged supply challenges, it has denied that a mental health crisis is taking place on the Lincoln, which has 5,000 onboard.
