The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln arrived back at its homeport in San Diego Bay on Thursday, concluding a deployment to the Middle East that lasted nearly a year.
CBS News correspondents Eleanor Watson and Carter Evans covered the return of the vessel. The report also features analysis from Retired Navy Vice Admiral Robert Murrett regarding the significance of the mission.
This marks a historic duration for the carrier’s recent operations, as the ship has now completed a ten-month stretch of service in a key geopolitical region before returning to California.

I wonder what the sailors have to say about the conditions over there? Hope they get some leave soon.
Great to see the Navy maintaining such a strong presence in the region. Security matters.
Wait, isn’t that the carrier from 2019-2020? Did it deploy twice?
Ten months is a long time to be away from family. Glad they are back safe and sound.
