USS Lincoln's role as Israeli missile defense26:36

The hosts explain the USS Lincoln's deployment now primarily serves to provide missile defense for Israel, which they say has been reduced to double-digit ballistic missile interceptors and relies on the U.S. Navy to shoot down Iranian cruise missiles, without which Tel Aviv could suffer casualties similar to Kiev's after Ukraine depleted its own interceptor stock. They note the ship has no announced return date, with the original expected end in May long passed, compounding crew demoralization amid Trump's shifting statements on whether the war is over.
