USS Abraham Lincoln to dock in Thailand next week, Thai official says
Crew members finally have a port call after a record-setting deployment in the Middle East, and the Navy says the carrier is heading home.
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, a Thai official announced the USS Abraham Lincoln will dock in Thailand next week for rest and recreation following a prolonged deployment in the Middle East during the Iran war.
- The aircraft carrier has spent over 200 consecutive days at sea without a port call, setting a modern record for uninterrupted time at sea according to Democratic lawmakers.
- Reports of declining morale and mental health concerns emerged this month, though Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated those accounts "completely misrepresented" conditions aboard the ship carrying roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines.
- Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, expects the ship to return within weeks, though officials declined to provide specific dates citing operational security.
