USS Lincoln Crew Celebrates Port Call in Thailand | San Diego News

The USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group have docked in Pattaya, Thailand, after an eight-month deployment to the Middle East — a long-awaited shore leave for sailors eager to explore Thai culture and unwind. While President Trump criticized the deployment’s length, the crew is thrilled to stretch their legs, with some marking their first deployment. Other ships from the strike group are also anchored across Thailand, offering more service members a taste of Southeast Asia before heading home. The Lincoln is expected to depart soon, possibly making supply stops along the way, as the crew looks forward to returning to U.S. soil.
