Crowds greet USS Lincoln as crew returns from over 260 days at sea in Pattaya

After more than 260 days at sea, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lincoln drew a small crowd in Pattaya, Thailand, as locals gathered near Laem Chabang port to glimpse the ship. Sailors described the deployment as long and arduous but said they were glad to be heading home, while Lincoln’s commanding officer Capt. Dan Keeler indicated the strike group would return to the United States soon with possible future stops, though he did not provide an exact date.

Pattaya Prepares Welcome for Lincoln Sailors After 270-Day Deployment

Thai authorities in Pattaya are preparing to host thousands of sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln after more than 270 days at sea. About 600 officials will handle security and arrangements, with around 40 buses transporting crew members from Laem Chabang port to Pattaya in staggered groups before the ship departs again. Service members will face restrictions on certain activities, and police will boost presence around popular areas. The Lincoln’s port call follows a long Middle East deployment tied to Iran-related operations, with the ship set to return to the US afterward. Local businesses hope for a tourism boost amid broader security and social concerns in the area.

Distant Dinners: Gulf-Disrupted Supply Lines Strain Carrier Lincoln

Iranian attacks on Gulf bases forced the USS Abraham Lincoln to draw supplies from distant ports (Diego Garcia, Singapore, Suez), delaying fresh provisions and lengthening resupply cycles. Officials say meals were adjusted and no meals were missed, but families and experts warn of ongoing shortages and emphasize Gulf-port vulnerabilities and the need for pre-positioned stocks and flexible routes in future conflicts. The Lincoln has been at sea for more than 240 days.

Russian frigate stages live-fire near UK as Burnham pledges Kyiv support

A Russian Navy frigate Neustrashimy conducted a live-fire weapons exercise in international waters about 40 nautical miles off Plymouth on the first day of Andy Burnham’s tenure as UK prime minister, with the Royal Navy monitoring the activity and signaling readiness to protect national security. Kremlin officials tied Burnham’s Ukraine stance to Moscow’s display of power, while Burnham told Zelensky there would be no change in UK policy toward Russia. The 30-minute exercise reportedly involved no disclosed weapon details and the ship asked HMS Tyne to move to a safer distance.
