USS Lincoln Crew Hits the Streets of Thailand's Pattaya After Nine-Month Deployment
Thai police called the incident minor and restricted the two sailors to the ship for the rest of the port call.
- On Thursday, two sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln were returned to the ship following a 'small scuffle' in Pattaya, Thailand, city police chief Colonel Anek Srathongyoo reported.
- The aircraft carrier's arrival follows a 286-day deployment supporting combat operations in the Middle East, during which the vessel faced scrutiny over deteriorating living conditions aboard.
- Srathongyoo described the incident as 'trivial,' noting the sailors violated no local laws, though Navy officials restricted them to the ship for the remainder of the five-day visit.
- Economic feedback from the port call remains mixed, while lawmakers previously requested investigations into reports of food shortages and mental health crises among the crew.
- Captain Dan Keeler, the commanding officer, said the carrier will depart soon for its home port of San Diego, though he declined to provide an exact arrival date.
