The USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier, has returned to San Diego after a record 321-day deployment during the US-Israeli war on Iran. Upon its arrival, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boarded the ship at sea, commending the crew for their exceptional effort, stating that the strike group had accomplished a feat unmatched by any other carrier strike group.
The vessel, which transported 5,000 sailors and Marines, initially departed from San Diego last November for the Pacific, but was later redirected to the Middle East following the onset of the war on Iran in late February. Reports suggest that the crew encountered challenges such as food and basic supply shortages, as well as declining mental health and morale.
