USS Abraham Lincoln docks in Thailand after record deployment
–
Neutral summary
The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier docked early Wednesday at the Laem Chabang port in Thailand's Chonburi province, ending a record deployment of more than 280 consecutive days at sea. Around 5,000 sailors and marines began shore leave in the resort city of Pattaya, known for its nightlife and sex tourism, with local authorities deploying about 600 officials for security. The crew was barred from visiting brothels and buying marijuana, while the Bangkok Post reported the sailors are expected to spend about 100 million baht in the local economy during five days of leave. The port call came amid reports of deteriorating living conditions and emotional strain on board, with photos showing rust on the carrier's hull.
