USS Abraham Lincoln to dock in Thailand next week, Thai official says
Crew members finally have a port call after a record-setting deployment in the Middle East, and the Navy says the carrier is heading home.
- On Tuesday, the USS Abraham Lincoln will dock in Thailand next week for rest and recreation following a prolonged deployment in the Middle East during the Iran war, a Thai official announced.
- The aircraft carrier has spent over 200 consecutive days at sea without a port call, setting a modern record for uninterrupted time at sea according to Democratic lawmakers.
- Reports of declining morale and mental health concerns emerged this month, though Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the accounts "completely misrepresented" conditions aboard the ship carrying roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines.
- Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island expects the ship to return within weeks, though Navy officials declined to provide specific return dates citing operational security concerns.
- Upon return, the vessel will likely relocate to Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington, concluding a nine-month deployment that extended beyond the standard six-month rotation.
