What every side reports

The USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier, underwent an extended deployment. Concerns have been raised about conditions aboard the ship, and Democratic senators are seeking answers about those conditions.

Where the framing diverges

The left outlet frames the story around Democratic senators formally demanding answers about conditions, keeping the focus on oversight. The center outlet leads with the dramatic incident of sailors trying to jump overboard and rising safety concerns from families. The right outlet combines both angles, naming the Democratic inquiry to the Pentagon (referred to as the War Department) while emphasizing reports of a severe mental toll on the roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard.
