Pentagon denies reports of food shortages on US ships

Reрorts claiming that U.S. military personnel serving in the Middle East are facing food shortages are not true.

1news.media informs that this was told by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on his X account.

He said logistical checks show that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli are fully supplied.

“Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board,” he noted.

It should be recalled that the previous day, USA Today reported, citing relatives of service members, that food supplies on ships in the waters of the Persian Gulf were running low.
