US Aircraft Carrier Arrives in Middle East, Relieving Long-Deployed USS Lincoln
The Japan-based carrier is relieving the long-deployed USS Abraham Lincoln after 272 days at sea, as U.S. forces maintain pressure on Iran.
- On Wednesday, the George Washington Carrier Strike Group arrived in the Middle East as part of a scheduled Navy deployment, confirmed by military officials on Thursday.
- The group is expected to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been at sea for more than 270 days supporting combat operations against Iran.
- Reports this month detail supply issues and mental health struggles aboard the Lincoln, home to roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines, with families expressing serious concerns over conditions.
- Acting Navy Secretary Cao said the Lincoln "crushed their deployment and will return home soon," while Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called media reports "shameless" and "reckless."
- The George Washington's departure from Japan leaves the Navy without a carrier in the Western Pacific, though American forces continue enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
