USS Lincoln Docks in San Diego, Returning Home for First Time in over 10 Months

- 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.

- 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.
