US senators criticized US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for dismissing reports concerning the situation on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Lawmakers stressed that the problems that arose on the ship could have been identified in advance and prevented.
In their statement, the senators pointed out that the situation on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is similar to the difficulties previously faced by the crew of another US Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford.
According to available data, on April 16, 2026, the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) participated in US Navy blockade operations in the Strait of Hormuz area.
