According to CoinMeta, Trump confirmed to the media at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland that due to issues such as living conditions on board and the mental health of the crew caused by the long-term deployment of the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Middle East, the carrier will be replaced. He stated that the USS Lincoln "is either already on its way out or about to set off," and that it will be replaced by the USS George Washington aircraft carrier. Trump also mentioned that the nearly 9-month deployment of the USS Lincoln was "far from sufficient."
