USS Abraham Lincoln Heads Home After 9 Months of Deployment
The carrier is returning after nearly 275 consecutive days at sea, as lawmakers press the Defense Department over crew stress and supply shortages.
- After a historic 275-day deployment, the USS Abraham Lincoln is heading home to San Diego, with Adm. Brad Cooper announcing Sunday the crew had "delivered a performance for the ages."
- The extended nine-month deployment caused significant strain, with reports of mental health challenges and supply shortages of food and hygiene products aboard the Lincoln.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed reports as "completely misrepresented," while President Donald Trump called the deployment a "good period of time" and cited an admiral's assurance the ship was "beautifully maintained."
- The Asia-based USS George Washington arrived Wednesday to relieve the Lincoln in the Middle East, leaving the Pacific region without an American carrier strike group as China shows signs of aggression.
- While hostilities with Iran have calmed, the Navy is enforcing a reimposed blockade in the Strait of Hormuz that Defense Secretary Hegseth said can be maintained "indefinitely," though analysts warn operations are running sailors ragged.
