EXCERPT:
Navy families are sounding the alarm over deteriorating conditions aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier as the Iran war threatens to keep thousands of American sailors at sea for an entire year.
Nearly 500 family members of sailors aboard the USS George H.W. Bush confronted Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and senior military officials over repeated deployment extensions, equipment failures, food shortages and inadequate mental health support during a contentious town hall in a Norfolk Navy base auditorium, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by MS NOW. The carrier strike group, which departed Norfolk on March 31 for an expected six- to seven-month deployment, has been ordered to remain overseas through the holidays, with families warned to prepare for a deployment lasting up to 12 months.
