Food shortages on aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln spark concern

Reports of food shortages and other serious issues aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln have shocked many, although the Pentagon has assured that sailors are fully supplied. For the Navy, this is not just about one ship. The situation highlights the strain caused by attacks on logistics hubs disrupting supply chains. Iranian missile and drone strikes on a U.S. base in Bahrain and a port in the UAE have forced supplies to be delivered from Diego Garcia and Singapore. Supply ships now have to cover more than 4,000 miles. Experts link the shortages of food and supplies directly to the closure of these ports.
