The US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in the port of Laem Chabang, Thailand, after more than 200 days at sea following reports of severe supply shortages and crew distress. [^1]

Approximately 5,000 personnel, including sailors and marines, are currently in the tourist city of Pattaya for a five-day rest period. [^2]

Reports indicated severe supply shortages on board, including issues with water supply and clogged toilets, alongside increasing psychological stress among the crew. [^3]

Approximately 4,800 crew members aboard the USS Lincoln and 312 soldiers on the destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. are scheduled for a five-day visit to Pattaya. [^4]

Hung Cao, US Secretary of the Navy, admitted that a small number of mental health cases were recorded during the mission, although no crew member lost their life. [^5]

The USS Abraham Lincoln had been deployed to the Middle East for over six months amid increasing tensions between the United States and Iran. [^6]

In some cases, crew members allegedly attempted to jump overboard due to the conditions, though the US military has denied the most serious accusations. [^7]

Conteradmiral Robert E. Loughran stated in a US Navy statement that the arrival offers sailors and marines a well-deserved opportunity to recover and regain strength. [^8]

The crew will remain in Thailand for five days before resuming their journey back to the United States, with an expected arrival in mid-September. [^9]
