The situation of the U.S. Navy's Lincoln-class aircraft carrier is not optimistic, and it is even more severe than we imagined! According to recent revelations by American multimedia producer Andrew Brown, a serious mental health crisis is currently unfolding aboard the "Lincoln" carrier. The vessel has been deployed for 250 consecutive days without docking at any port, resulting in a severe supply crisis. Crew members are generally suffering from hunger, subsisting on low-quality food. At least six U.S. military personnel have attempted to jump overboard to escape. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is actively suppressing the spread of such information.
It is reported that Andrew Brown’s intelligence comes directly from family members of U.S. service members stationed on the Lincoln carrier, lending considerable credibility to the claims. In fact, the deployment duration of the Lincoln carrier has now exceeded 270 days—breaking the previous record for U.S. aircraft carrier deployments. Coupled with Iran’s missile strikes targeting U.S. military bases and supply ports and replenishment ships, the resupply timeline for U.S. carriers has been drastically extended—from one week to an entire month. Considering there are thousands of personnel onboard, the daily consumption of supplies under normal conditions would be an astronomical figure.
This recent supply crisis on the U.S. aircraft carrier has exposed a critical vulnerability in the U.S. carrier strike group: its extreme dependence on high-density logistics support. With Iran effectively destroying nearly all U.S. supply ports across the Middle East, American forces must now transport supplies from distant North African, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean bases—requiring long-distance voyages before reaching the Arabian Sea to refuel the carrier and escort vessels. This logistical effort simply cannot keep pace with the demands of sustained high-intensity warfare. This is precisely why U.S. military operations against Iran have been characterized by intermittent strikes. Thus, if Iran continues prioritizing attacks on U.S. supply chains, it could very well lead to the collapse of American military capabilities in the region.
