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]
