5,000 Sailors Arrive in Thailand as USS Lincoln Returns

Thailand's Pattaya is bracing for a sudden surge in activity as five thousand American sailors step off the USS Abraham Lincoln. The massive carrier has spent nine long months at sea before reaching this Thai port. Its recent mission saw the ship play a key role supporting US war efforts against Iran. Conditions inside the vessel were far from easy during that record-breaking deployment. Now, the town expects a business boost from this unexpected influx of troops and equipment.
