USS Abraham Lincoln Sailors Silenced Over Deteriorating Conditions
Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were ordered not to speak with the media about the deteriorating conditions on board after spending a record 286 days at sea and arriving in Thailand. Despite the restriction, sailors informally discussed their living conditions, confirming shortages of fresh food and essential supplies. Captains Don Kilmer and Dan Keeler acknowledged these shortages but denied reports that conditions were as bad as described.5 sourcesSee all sources
