> Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao confirmed eight suicide attempts across the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group during its Middle East deployment, including at least two sailors who tried to go overboard. No service members died by suicide, but the roughly 5,000-person crew spent 286 days at sea with only one brief port stop.
