  • The USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in Thailand after spending 286 days at sea on an unusually long deployment.
  • The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier carried nearly 5,000 military personnel, who used the Pattaya stop for rest and basic shopping.

After 286 days at sea, the rusty USS Abraham Lincoln finally reached Pattaya, bringing nearly 5,000 sailors and other military personnel back onto dry land.

The US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier had spent almost 10 months on an exceptionally long military deployment. The journey left the ship looking battered and rust-streaked.

For the crew, however, the stop in Thailand offered something more important than appearances: a chance to rest ashore. Some of the first destinations were reportedly pedicure shops and stores selling socks.
