Not to arm chair general it. How come the US doesn't get a bunch of helicopters over to the Lincoln with food meds and whatever? How did it get this bad where we can't supply our own ships?

Range, I’d guess. From what I’ve read, the base they’re using to resupply is more than 2,000 miles away. I don’t think helicopters fly that far without refueling.
