美国核动力航母亚伯拉罕·林肯号在海上部署286天后，于周三靠泊泰国东部芭堤雅港口进行休整1。这次停靠标志着约5000名船员首次获得上岸机会，他们在海上已超过260天未曾登陆1。
此次访问期间，航母外观显示明显的使用磨损迹象，包括船体生锈等问题1。早前曾有报道指出船员的心理健康状况恶化且存在食品短缺问题，但美国海军对这些问题进行了淡化处理1。在部署期间，8月初还发生过一名船员跌入海中的事件，该船员随后被迅速救起并接受了治疗1。
林肯号航母自11月开始部署，旨在支持美国针对伊朗的相关行动1。航母指挥官丹·基勒上校表示"没有关于我们何时回家的大延迟"1。此次停靠预计将为泰国芭堤雅市带来约1亿泰铢（420万美元）的经济收入1。
The USS Abraham Lincoln, a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, pulled into the port of Pattaya in eastern Thailand on Wednesday for a break after spending 286 days on deployment, with 264 of those days spent continuously at sea 1. The carrier's approximately 5,000 sailors had not set foot on land for more than 260 days prior to this port call 1. The vessel's appearance bore visible signs of the prolonged deployment, including hull corrosion 1.
The extended mission, which began in November to support US operations aimed at countering Iran, drew attention to earlier reports of deteriorating crew morale and food shortages, though the US Navy downplayed these concerns 1. In August, one sailor fell overboard but was rapidly rescued and received medical treatment 1. Captain Dan Keller, the carrier's commanding officer, stated there were no significant delays regarding their return home 1. President Trump commented that the Lincoln's deployment duration was "far from long enough" 1.
The port visit is expected to generate approximately 100 million Thai baht (USD 4.2 million) in revenue for Pattaya, according to the city's mayor 1. This marked the first time the approximately 5,000-member crew would dock at this particular location 1.
