There is great public discontent in the active fleet

After photos showing the nature of the food provided to American fighters against Iran went viral, the second photo shows a dinner served on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, sent by a service member on board the ship to their family members. American service members reported poor-quality food and small portions during a deployment near Iran. Due to long operations and strained supply lines, crews rely on limited resupply at sea, leading to rationed provisions and low morale.
