The ship spent an unprecedented 264 days at sea, supporting U.S. efforts against Iran, sparking concerns about crew morale and food shortages. Upon docking, sailors disembarked via buses, greeted by eager vendors and tourists outside the Hard Rock Hotel. The vessel is expected to depart Thailand and resume its journey back to the United States. Other ships from the Lincoln's strike group are currently docked in Thailand, including the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. and the USS Robert Smalls.",
