USS Abraham Lincoln Returns to Thailand | Austin News

After a record-breaking 280-day deployment in the Middle East, the USS Abraham Lincoln has docked in Thailand — its first port call since leaving the region, offering weary sailors and Marines their long-awaited shore leave. Accompanied by fellow strike group ships, the carrier’s visit to Laem Chabang signals enduring U.S. commitment to Southeast Asia, while locals brace for economic boosts and heightened security as crew members head to Pattaya. This stop marks the start of the Lincoln’s journey home, following its handoff to the USS George Washington in August — a historic moment for the crew and a testament to global partnerships.
