In new reporting, former U.S. Navy leaders tell MS NOW they are worried about the “wear and tear” that record-breaking deployments for the Iran war are having on aircraft carriers. MS NOW’s Pentagon correspondent Priya Sridhar also discusses how “no orders have been issued” for the mission relief of the three guided-missile destroyers deployed alongside the USS Lincoln since late 2025. Rep. Jason Crow, an Army veteran who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss Trump’s lack of a strategy for ending his war in Iran and what Rep. Crow calls the “incompetence” of the Trump administration for putting service members, including the thousands on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, at risk. Plus, Ret. Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher and Ret. Navy Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, who are both running for Congress, join Peter Alexander to discuss how the USS Washington arriving in the Middle East to relieve the USS Lincoln leaves the Indo-Pacific region without a carrier.
