According to CoinMeta, the U.S. Central Command posted on social media that in the past 48 hours, several media outlets have published “false reports” regarding the deployment of the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Middle East. The U.S. military confirmed that reports claiming “seven sailors died in a fight on board” and others suggesting that “there has been a surge in suicidal thoughts among sailors on board” are entirely fabricated. The U.S. Central Command stated that the USS Lincoln has consistently maintained “one of the highest retention rates for its crew among all U.S. aircraft carriers.” After being deployed at sea for over 260 days, conducting 10,000 flight missions, and dropping 1.5 million pounds of ammunition, the officers and Marines of the USS Lincoln’s strike group remain “resolute and high in morale.” “There have been no deaths among any military personnel on board,” and the sailor who fell into the water on August 3 was quickly and safely rescued.
