The USS Abraham Lincoln arrived at Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi province, Thailand, on Wednesday after a record-setting 286-day deployment near the Strait of Hormuz. [^2]

Democratic lawmakers said the Lincoln set a modern-day record for consecutive days at sea, exceeding typical naval deployments of six to nine months. [^3]

The Lincoln, carrying roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines, was deployed in November 2025 and participated in the U.S. naval blockade and combat operations in the war with Iran. [^4]

At least one sailor leapt off the USS Abraham Lincoln, while two others were intercepted and stopped before they could make the leap, according to the Military Times. [^5]

Rear Admiral Robert E. Loughran, commander of Carrier Strike Group 3, stated that the arrival provides a well-deserved opportunity for sailors and Marines to rest and recharge. [^6]

The ship exhibited visible signs of wear, including rusted metal and deteriorating paint, following its months-long deployment. [^7]

Police will deploy additional patrols around Pattaya's main beachfront and nightlife district after weekend raids led to 40 to 50 people being detained for suspected prostitution, officials said. [^8]
