USS Abraham Lincoln docks in Thailand after record deployment at sea

The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier docked in Laem Chabang, Thailand, on Wednesday after a record 286 days at sea. This marks the ship's first port stop since its deployment began in November 2025. The arrival is expected to boost the local economy as approximately 5,000 sailors visit Pattaya, a nearby beach town. However, concerns about the crew's mental health and ship conditions have been raised during the lengthy deployment.
