Psychological Stress of Long-Term Carrier Deployments
CBS News correspondent Charlie Daggett and retired Navy Captain Carl Schuster discuss the fatigue and psychological stress affecting sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Schuster notes that passing the 60-day mark at sea often leads to a significant decline in morale and increased mental health risks. The deployment was extended and redirected from the Pacific to the Middle East, resulting in 12-18 hour workdays during active kinetic conflict.
