After record 200-day stretch at sea, US carrier finally docks for crew rest

The USS Abraham Lincoln, with about 5,000 sailors and marines aboard, will make a port call in Thailand next week following a deployment in the Middle East that lasted over 200 consecutive days at sea. Family members have reported food and water shortages, plumbing issues, low morale, and worsening mental health among the crew, prompting Democratic lawmakers to demand answers from the Pentagon.
