> Three US officials told CNN that a sailor went overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln earlier this month during its extended deployment for the Iran war. The sailor was rescued within an hour and medically evaluated. One official said the sailor wore a life vest, was uninjured and that the Navy viewed the incident as a mental health episode, amid reports of worsening crew mental health.
