After nearly 10 months at sea, the USS Abraham Lincoln spent five days in Thailand before departing again on Sunday. The aircraft carrier, which had drawn negative headlines over reported problems on board, left the port of Laem Chabang at about 11 a.m. local time.

Around 5,000 sailors and Marines were aboard the vessel as it departed the port in southern Thailand, according to AFP reporters. Media reports had cited hygiene deficiencies on board and psychological strain among the personnel.

The ship’s short port call ended after five days. It then returned to sea, leaving behind the reports that had placed conditions aboard the carrier in the spotlight.
