USS Abraham Lincoln arrives in Thailand after nine months at sea
The US carrier docked in Thailand with more than 5,000 sailors and Marines after a long deployment that drew scrutiny over life aboard ship.
The USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in Thailand on Wednesday after spending nine months at sea, bringing more than 5,000 sailors and Marines ashore. The aircraft carrier’s stop comes after a lengthy deployment in the Middle East.
Reports about conditions on board have prompted concern in Washington, with Democratic lawmakers seeking an inquiry into allegations of food shortages, plumbing failures and mental health problems. Those accounts also included claims of attempted suicides during the deployment.
The ship’s time in the region overlapped with the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to the source material. The carrier’s arrival in Thailand marks a pause in a deployment that has already drawn political attention in the United States.
