The USS Abraham Lincoln drew attention when it docked Wednesday at a port south of Bangkok, its hull visibly covered in corrosion from bow to stern.
Experts said the rust-like damage can occur normally, but it still needs to be removed. If left untreated, corrosion can threaten the vessel.
The carrier’s exterior was not the only aspect of the ship to attract attention. Outside observers were also interested in signs of deteriorating crew morale.
