Trump replaces USS Lincoln as sailors break: Is George HW Bush taking over Iran war duty?

The U.S. Navy has deployed the USS George H.W. Bush to the Arabian Sea as pressure mounts over the prolonged deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln. U.S. Central Command released images showing fighter jets operating from the Nimitz-class carrier in the Middle East. President Donald Trump also confirmed that the USS Lincoln would be replaced by another similar aircraft carrier, saying the ship was moving “right now or very shortly.” The development comes amid growing scrutiny over conditions reportedly faced by sailors aboard the Lincoln after more than 250 days at sea. The carrier rotation could provide relief as concerns over crew welfare intensify.
