Trascrizione 0:09 On October 8th, we reported Lincoln's return was pending. 0:12 The carrier has now docked. 0:14 About 5,000 sailors and Marines are home after nearly 11 months away. 0:18 The Navy disclosed eight suicide attempts across their strike group during the 0:21 deployment. 0:22 Will independent reviewers examine the decisions that kept them deployed and whether 0:26 sailors could get the supplies and care they needed? 0:28 Thousands welcomed the crew at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego. 0:32 The carrier arrived on October 8th. 0:35 Sailor Brent Ledbetter met his 10-month-old son Nathan for the first time, rejoining 0:39 his wife Jessica. 0:40 The Navy counted 64 fathers among the first sailors to leave and meet their babies. 0:45 Captain Daniel J. 0:46 Keillor counted 122 new dads when the air wing was included. 0:50 Other accounts used 60 or nearly 60. 0:52 Those counts cover different groups, so they can't be added together. 0:55 Acting Navy Secretary Hung Tsao disclosed the eight attempts in a September 22 1:00 letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. 1:02 The disclosure became public the following day. 1:05 At Homecoming, Keillor gave a more precise breakdown of where the attempts happened. 1:09 Keillor said five attempts happened aboard the Lincoln and three on support ships. 1:13 He said there were no suicides or casualties aboard the carrier. 1:16 Tao's earlier letter said no service members in the strike group had died by 1:20 suicide. 1:20 The strike group includes the carrier, its air wing, staffs, and accompanying ships. 1:26 The attempt count doesn't tell us how many different people were involved, and the 1:29 command statements about deaths don't tell families how everyone is recovering. 1:34 Shipmates intervened during a sailor's crisis in March. 1:37 That sailor received immediate care and returned to homeport. 1:40 In early August, a different sailor was recovered from the sea by a search and 1:44 rescue helicopter, treated aboard Lincoln, and transferred for follow-up care. 1:49 No life was lost in that rescue. 1:51 The public details describe two separate emergencies, while the Navy's 1:55 deployment-wide count remains eight attempts. 1:57 Families described food shortages and rationed meals along with shortages of hygiene 2:02 products. 2:03 They also described mold, Long working hours, stress, and worsening morale. 2:08 Some said communication with loved ones was limited during the deployment. 2:11 One sailor's wife relayed his text: I think the boat is finally getting to me. 2:16 Navy leaders acknowledged that combat operations restricted opportunities to 2:20 replenish supplies. 2:21 Keillor said threats from Iran sometimes forced supply ships to change their 2:25 movements. 2:26 Sao said four nutritionally balanced meals were served daily. 2:29 He also said meal options briefly fell from two to one. 2:32 Keillor said sailors had access to four meals a day. 2:35 Those statements describe both meal frequency and reduced choice. 2:38 They leave open whether portions were adequate and whether sailors working long 2:42 shifts could always get a meal. 2:44 The duration and severity of the shortages families described still need 2:47 examination. 2:48 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accepted responsibility for extending the deployment 2:53 twice during his October 7th visit. 2:55 He told the crew, I plead guilty. 2:57 He denied accounts of dwindling supplies and low morale, while acknowledging that 3:01 resupply hadn't been easy. 3:02 Senior leaders made those extension decisions. 3:05 The crew had left San Diego on November 21st, 2025, initially heading for the 3:10 Pacific and expecting to return in the spring. 3:13 Instead, the war with Iran redirected the carrier to the Middle East. 3:17 The Lincoln supported flights and strikes inside Iran during Operation Epic Fury. 3:21 It later helped secure or coordinate commercial shipping through the Strait of 3:24 Hormuz and enforced a blockade on traffic to Iranian ports. 3:28 USS George Washington relieved it in August. 3:30 The United States and Israel began the war in late February, with combat beginning 3:35 February 28th. 3:36 The award citation describes 40 days of combat starting then. 3:40 The subsequent blockade lasted months, extending the group's duties beyond that 3:43 combat period. 3:44 The departure and arrival dates are 321 elapsed days apart. 3:48 Counting both dates gives 322 calendar dates. 3:52 That offers a plausible explanation for the one-day difference in deployment totals, 3:56 although it doesn't explain how every count was made. 3:59 Recent typical carrier deployments have lasted about seven months. 4:02 Lincoln's tour stretched close to eleven. 4:04 Its journey home also included port visits in Thailand and Guam. 4:08 After departing November 21, Lincoln reached Lame Shebang, Thailand, on September 4:13 2nd and left September 6th. 4:15 It arrived at Apra Harbor, Guam, on September 19th for a logistics stop before 4:20 returning to San Diego on October 8th. 4:22 The Defense Department described 264 days without a port call as a modern naval 4:27 history record. 4:28 Other totals put that stretch at 265 or 286 days. 4:32 The port visits make clear that the full deployment included time ashore. 4:36 The smaller difference may come from counting days around a previous December 11 4:39 stop. 4:40 From that day to September 2 is 265 elapsed days, with 264 calendar days strictly 4:45 between them. 4:46 The exact counting convention hasn't been explained. 4:48 The 286 day figure also matches an inclusive count from the original departure to 4:53 Thailand. 4:53 That measures the broader voyage. 4:55 Thailand coverage separately used 270 days or 208 consecutive days at sea 5:01 and distinguished a full port visit from other stops. 5:04 Those measurements still haven't been reconciled. 5:06 Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hurtling argued that strong sailor performance 5:10 doesn't erase concerns about food and other conditions. 5:13 Former Lincoln pilot Matthew Wiz Buckley called the mission a resounding success and 5:17 said there were no operational mishaps. 5:19 Hurtling urged Navy leaders to learn from the deployment and support sailors and 5:23 families. 5:24 Buckley's assessment concerned operational performance. 5:27 Hegseth also said the group had no combat casualties or aircraft mishaps. 5:32 The Navy separately disclosed the mental health emergencies. 5:35 Previously listed support aboard included five chaplains, a psychologist, a clinical 5:39 social worker, and three behavioral health technicians. 5:42 An embedded prevention counselor and a facility dog were also listed. 5:45 Whether sailors could obtain timely, confidential care is still unresolved. 5:49 Families' accounts and the attempt figures don't tell us what caused any 5:52 individual's crisis. 5:53 That requires a closer examination of the people affected and the care they 5:57 received. 5:58 Hegseth presented the Presidential Unit Citation on October 7th to the Carrier 6:02 Strike Group. 6:03 including carrier Air Wing 9 and accompanying ships. 6:06 The citation credits 3,693 combat missions, 64 Iranian warships sunk, and 6:12 450 Tomahawk missiles launched. 6:14 Supporting ships were identified as Tomahawk launch platforms. 6:18 The launch total belongs to the group. 6:20 The awards combat figures are official claims and they haven't been independently 6:24 audited. 6:24 The citation credits 1.37 million pounds of ordnance delivered. 6:29 Hegseth separately cited 1.5 million pounds. 6:32 Nobody has explained the scope difference between those totals, so adding them would 6:35 inflate the group's weapons use. 6:37 The citation also credits destruction of 77 one-way attack drones and 21 anti-ship 6:43 cruise missiles. 6:44 Those threats targeted Lincoln or other strike group ships. 6:47 It credits defense against four fast attack craft or explosive carrying vessels 6:51 without counting those four as additional sinkings. 6:53 Hegseth cited 10,000 sorties meaning flights and 23,000 combat flight hours. 6:59 A separate total put flights at 13,000, including about 4,000 combat missions. 7:04 The citations 3,693 combat missions rounds to nearly 3,700. 7:09 The broader flight totals still need explanation. 7:12 Hegseth described 160 hours of non-stop operations at the start of Epic Fury. 7:17 Officials aboard described one 60-hour stretch. 7:19 Those figures may cover different periods. 7:22 They describe operational intensity without providing a complete account of each 7:25 sailor's workload. 7:26 Senator Ruben Gallego asked for two independent reviews on October 7th. 7:31 His letters seek scrutiny of the decisions behind Lincoln's deployment and a broader 7:35 examination of whether the Navy can safely sustain extended tours. 7:39 Gallego asked the Defense Department Inspector General to examine planning, both 7:44 extensions, shortages, resupply, and fatigue. 7:47 He also asked reviewers to examine leadership responses and mental health access, 7:51 including whether a sailor who sought care failed to receive it. 7:54 That letter went to Inspector General Platt B. 7:57 Mooring III. 7:58 The separate Government Accountability Office request went to Acting Tomptroller 8:03 General Oris W. 8:04 Brown. 8:04 It covers logistics, maintenance, welfare, readiness, and retention across extended 8:09 deployments. 8:09 The Iago sought standards for deployment length, rest, port call frequency, and 8:13 logistics reserves, as well as mental health capacity and post-deployment recovery. 8:18 He asked for accountability where policies weren't followed or systems fell short. 8:23 Lawmakers had also requested an Inspector General review on August 17th. 8:27 The carrier is expected to move to Washington State in a couple of months for 8:31 repairs and maintenance. 8:32 An exact schedule hasn't been announced. 8:34 The Navy says lessons from this deployment will help prepare future crews but hasn't 8:38 supplied a measurable corrective plan. 8:40 The sailors are home, but we still don't know whether everyone who needed help 8:43 received it. 8:44 That is among the questions Gallego wants independent reviewers to examine. 8:48 As of October 9th, the Inspector General and Government Accountability Office 8:52 haven't publicly confirmed accepting or opening those reviews. 8:55 No firm response or report deadline has been confirmed.
