USS Lincoln Docks in San Diego, Returning Home for First Time in over 10 Months
Pentagon officials awarded the strike group the Presidential Unit Citation, citing 3,693 combat sorties and 1.37 million pounds of ordnance delivered by the crew, the department stated.
- The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is due back in San Diego on Thursday, concluding a deployment of more than 10 months that included combat operations and more than 260 consecutive days at sea.
- Supply shortages plagued the crew throughout the mission after Iranian strikes on a base in Bahrain hindered resupply efforts, according to a Pentagon Inspector General report confirmed last month.
- Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao testified last month that eight service members in the battle group attempted suicide, a rate close to Navy-wide levels in 2024; morale issues contributed to sailors jumping overboard.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the ship Wednesday off the San Diego coast, rejecting media portrayals of the mission as a 'failed' symbol and praising the crew's 'success' and resilience.
- Carrier deployments have routinely surpassed the recommended seven-month length, with the Virginia-based USS Gerald Ford returning this year after almost 11 months and the USS Theodore Roosevelt recently deploying for at least eight months.
