The U.S. Department of Defense has ordered an investigation into Stars and Stripes, the military’s official newspaper, following reports that raised concerns about potential security breaches linked to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Officials are examining whether classified information was improperly disclosed, with particular focus on recent coverage that may have violated media protocols. The move underscores growing tensions over press freedom within the armed forces amid heightened scrutiny of military communications. Details on the scope of the inquiry and any disciplinary actions remain unclear as the Pentagon tightens oversight.
