Adm Brad Cooper, commander of US naval forces, has reaffirmed that mental health remains a top priority for sailors serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
His comments came after a visit to the aircraft carrier, where he acknowledged the unique pressures of long deployments at sea.
"Navy service at sea for long periods is uniquely challenging and tough," Cooper said, according to BBC News.
The remarks underscore ongoing efforts to support the well-being of crew members facing extended time away from home and demanding operational schedules.
Cooper's visit highlights the military's focus on addressing mental health challenges among personnel deployed in high-tempo environments.
