Hegseth Greets USS Abraham Lincoln Near the End of Record Long Deployment
The homecoming ends a deployment marked by combat operations, supply shortages and eight reported suicide attempts in the carrier’s battle group, officials said.
- The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is due back in San Diego on Thursday, concluding a deployment of more than 10 months that included combat operations and more than 260 consecutive days at sea.
- Supply shortages plagued the crew throughout the mission after Iranian strikes on a base in Bahrain hindered resupply efforts, according to a Pentagon Inspector General report confirmed last month.
- Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao testified last month that eight service members in the battle group attempted suicide, a rate close to Navy-wide levels in 2024; morale issues contributed to sailors jumping overboard.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the ship Wednesday off the San Diego coast, rejecting media portrayals of the mission as a 'failed' symbol and praising the crew's 'success' and resilience.
- Carrier deployments have routinely surpassed the recommended seven-month length, with the Virginia-based USS Gerald Ford returning this year after almost 11 months and the USS Theodore Roosevelt recently deploying for at least eight months.
