USS George Washington Relieves USS Abraham Lincoln in Middle East Deployment

New development: On Thursday, the USS George Washington aircraft carrier relieved the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East deployment. The George Washington, typically based near Japan, arrived in the region on Wednesday. The Abraham Lincoln, deployed for nearly nine months since November 2025, continues its mission amid ongoing challenges, with mental health cases among its sailors noted as low but not absent. The U.S. maintains a blockade, with President Trump suggesting the deployment can continue indefinitely.
