2,100-Mile supply gap tests USS Lincoln amid Bahrain fallout

TL;DR Summary
A Bahrain attack prompted the Navy to shift logistical support to Diego Garcia, placing the USS Abraham Lincoln about 2,100 miles from its nearest resupply hub and stripping the crew of regular liberty. The ship has been at sea for more than 260 days without a port call, fueling concerns about morale and living conditions, even as lawmakers pressure for answers. The Navy says shortages were prioritized and addressed, and the Lincoln is being relieved by the USS George Washington to head back to San Diego.
