Hegseth defends extended USS Lincoln deployment amid reports of crew hardships
The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group will return to its homeport of San Diego on Thursday, concluding a 10-month deployment to the Middle East where it played a key role in the war with Iran and set a new record of 265 days in between ports of call. In all, the ship will have spent 321 days on deployment, the second-longest since the end of the Cold War.The longest deployment was set earlier this year when the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford returned from a 326-day deployment to Europe, the Caribbean and the Middle East. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Lincoln on Wednesday ahead of its return home and praised the ship's crew for its resilience and dedication during the lengthy deployment. POOL via ABC News - PHOTO: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth speaks while aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, Oct. 7, 2026. Hegseth told sailors gathered on the carrier's flight deck that he had extended their deployment twice -- in recent years typical carrier strike deployments have lasted seven months. 8 sailors attached to USS Lincoln have attempted suicide, acting Navy secretary says I plead guilty, A., because of the incredible effectiveness that you showcased on the battlefield and the necessity. But also B., the mission required it, and C., because President Trump had full faith that you would deliver on behalf of the American people, and you did he, added. What the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group did, no other carrier strike group has ever done, Hegseth said, listing its accomplishments: 10,000 sorties, 23,000 combat flight hours, almost 4,000 combat sorties, 1.5 million pounds of ordinance dropped on the enemy, to cheers from sailors. The aircraft assigned to the carrier had returned to their home bases in California and Washington state earlier in the week. The Lincoln's crew suffered from supply disruptions caused by the start of the war that impacted food stocks and the long deployment led to reports that the crew's mental health was suffering. The Navy has reported that there were eight suicide attempts aboard the carrier during the deployment, including one sailor who jumped overboard and was later rescued. Family members speak out as USS Lincoln docks in Thailand after record 9 months at sea That figure that appears to be on the lower end of what is experienced during carrier deployments, according to a U.S. official. There were a few folks in the media who tried to turn the USS Abraham Lincoln into some sort of a symbol, Hegesth said. A symbol of dysfunction, or a symbol of low morale, or a symbol of a failed mission. And what I look out right here or when I talk to your leadership, and I haven't had a chance to talk to a number of you, I know it's the exact opposite. At the conclusion of his remarks, Hegseth announced that the Lincoln carrier strike group was being awarded the prestigious Presidential Unit Citation, an award for distinction given to military units. When he read the citation to the crew, he disclosed more statistics about the carrier group's air operations against Iran that have not previously been disclosed. Valerie Lynn Maigue/U.S. Navy - PHOTO: Harbor tug boats guide Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln as the ship pulls into Naval Base Guam, Dec. 11, 2025. That included: 3,693 combat sorties, 1.37 million pounds of ordnance dropped on Iranian targets, the launching of 450 Tomahawk cruise missiles by warships accompanying the carrier, the shoot-down of 77 Iranian one-way attack drones and 21 anti-ship cruise missiles, the defense against four fast-attack craft and explosive-carrying dhows, and helping with the sinking of 64 Iranian warships. Navy officials have said that the Lincoln's deployment has helped them make quality of life improvements for future lengthy carrier deployments, including that of the USS Theodore Roosevelt which left San Diego a week ago bound for the Middle East. Roosevelt is maximizing its load-out of food, retail products and hygiene items before getting underway, Adm. Daryl Caudle, the Chief of Naval Operations, said in a recently released video. The crew is converting available spaces into additional storage, building the ability to remain self-sufficient for longer periods, especially when resupply may be difficult, said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Perryman. And quality of life is a focus with new entertainment equipment available to sailors. as well as more durable fitness equipmen. and spare cardio machines. Trump says record USS Lincoln deployment 'not nearly long enough' The carrier's systems are also being upgraded with software updates and instructions, and being pre-staged aboard the ship, allowing the crew to keep critical services running even when bandwidth is limited or the ship is operating in a degraded condition, Caudle said. Improvements have also been made to climate control systems and a specialized team will be on board to inspect and optimize those systems, Perryman said. And improvements are being made to keep families informed about the deployment. As one carrier returns home, we listen to its sailors and families. We capture what worked and what didn't, and we make it better the next time, Prettyman said. To the Lincoln team, thank you for what you accomplished and for what you taught us, and to the Roosevelt team, we're doing everything we can to make sure you are ready for the mission. You and your families. This article originally appeared on ABC News at https://abcnews.com/Politics/hegseth-greets-uss-abraham-lincoln-end-record-long/story?id=137067054

Maduro and his wife expected to face new charges over alleged torture of Americans
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro at the Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas, on October 15, 2021. - Federico Parra/AFP/Getty Images Prosecutors in New York are expected to bring new charges against former Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores over the alleged torture of Americans who were held in Venezuelan government custody in recent years, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation. An announcement could come as soon as Thursday, the people said. The new charges relate to what the US government has said was the wrongful detention of more than a dozen US citizens in Venezuelan prisons during the time Maduro led a repressive regime in Venezuela, the people briefed on the investigation said. Investigators have also discussed charging several additional people for their alleged role in the torture of Americans, according to a source familiar with the matter. CNN has reached out to lawyers for Maduro and Flores. Maduro and his wife were captured in a US military raid in January from the presidential palace in Caracas. They have pleaded not guilty to narcoterrorism conspiracy and other charges and are held without bail in New York. Flores is expected to appear at a hearing Thursday where her lawyer will ask that she be moved to house arrest ahead of trial. Maduros lawyer is challenging the legality of the arrest and argues the former president should have immunity since the alleged conduct occurred while he was in office. The Venezuelan government is not joining in claiming immunity on his behalf, according to the prosecution. Allegations of torture More than a dozen Americans were detained by the Maduro government, which was accused by US government and advocates of using them as political pawns. Several of the Americans have spoken out about the torture say they were subjected to while they were imprisoned. Matthew Heath and Osman Khan, who were freed in a prisoner swap in October 2022, alleged in a lawsuit that they were subjected to waterboarding, electrocution, threats of sexual assault, use of mind-altering drugs, and periods of solitary confinement. Heath, a US Marine veteran, attempted suicide while he was detained. The CITGO 6, a group of six American oil executives who were lured to Venezuela in 2017 and detained for nearly five years, also say they were subjected to brutal conditions while in Venezuelan detention. In lawsuits filed against their employer Citgo Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Jose Zambrano and Jose Luis Zambrano said they were subjected to torture while imprisoned. All of them had been held in the notorious General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) which was responsible for arbitrary detentions, ill-treatment and torture of political opponents and their relatives, according to a United Nations report. That report found that DGCIM routinely resorted to torture practices including electric shocks, suffocation with plastic bags, waterboarding, beatings, sexual violence, water and food deprivation, stress positions and exposure to extreme temperatures in order to extract information and confessions, intimidate, and punish the detainees. This story was updated with additional information.
