Yes, there was a lull in the fighting with the ceasefires and er and all that, but what we really have seen is that every day, continual operations, planes taking off on combat missions, on training missions, the ship sometimes even uh came under attack.
We know that Iran launched missiles in its direction and of course nothing hit.
Um a lot of them were intercepted or fell into the ocean, but this is a vessel that has been involved mightily in combat operations against Iran.
Well, the most senior person we've heard from is Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth.
And he said that the reports aboard the Lincoln were being, quote, in his words, completely misrepresented.
But at the same time, Brad, he also acknowledged that when ships are at sea for extended periods of time
that every effort is made to take care of the well being of those sailors that they're given opportunities.
Um because he acknowledged that these deployments can be really long.
But we at the same time what we're hearing from Navy officials is that yes, the m major efforts are being made to ensure that
quality of care is available to them that behavioral health specialists are aboard.
For example, we were told that there are five chaplains on aboard the aircraft carrier right now, that there are also three uh psychologists, there are other technicians involved.
There's even a therapy dog a Labrador named Captain Fathom.
So there's a lot of effort being placed into ensuring the mental well being of the service members of these sailors aboard the carrier.
And what we have been told by US officials is that the data that they're looking at is shows that they don't see an uptick in any incidence of mental health situations aboard the ship, particularly when it comes to suicidal ideations.
Now what happens next to the aircraft carrier, uh what we do know is that the families now at least have some clarity.
Uh we've learned from US officials that the aircraft carrier George Washington, which is based in Japan, will be making its way to the Middle East to swap out with the Lincoln, but we're not
clear on the sense of timing of when that actually is going to happen, but at least family members in San Diego will have some clarity that yeah, th th the end is close.
And yes, it'll take some time for that swap to take place in terms of weeks, outbound and inbound.
But again, clarity for the families and and that's important here in this situation right now.
After months of airstrikes against Iran, they have enough in the inventory right now.
