The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier arrived in Thailand on Wednesday bearing the wear-and-tear of its deployment in the form of rusted metal and deteriorating paint.
The ship arrived in Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi province, where U.S. sailors serving on the ship have disembarked after a record-setting 286-day deployment near the Strait of Hormuz. It was relieved last month by the USS George Washington.
