The Associated Press is reporting that the Navy will move the carrier USS Washington into the region to replace USS Lincoln.
Navy officials tell me that the Washington is still in the Pacific right now.
But I do know that Navy planners have talked about the possibility of swapping the two carrier ears even uh before the latest round of damning public reports.
After leaving San Diego in November, USS Lincoln had one brief port visit.
Since then it has been positioned in the Middle East supporting the war effort in Iran.
That is a grueling pace for a carrier with more than five thousand sailors on board.
Lawmakers are now demanding answers about the conditions on uh the Lincoln.
MS Now and others have been reporting that sailors have attempted to jump from the carrier.
Which MPR has not been able to independently confirm.
Senator Richard Blumenthal and other Democrats are demanding that the Pentagon investigate shortages of food, toilets not working, and lack of mental health care on board the ship.
The war with Iran has made that impossible.
Shortly after the war began in late February, Iran attacked the Navy's main hub in the region in Bahrain.
This has meant the Navy has not been able to use its traditional supply hub in the region.
Instead, they've had to scramble to find ways to keep ships stocked.
Being out at sea takes a toll on sailors.
Normally, they would come into port after a month or so to resupply and let sailors spend time off the ship.
