The reporting
The USS Abraham Lincoln docked at Laem Chabang port in eastern Thailand on Wednesday after a 286-day stretch at sea, giving its roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines their first full port stop since deployment began in November. The carrier is returning toward San Diego after a Middle East deployment tied to the Iran war and was relieved by the Japan-based USS George Washington. The five-day rest-and-relaxation visit routes many crew members to nearby Pattaya. Thai police increased prostitution enforcement there ahead of the arrival.
