USS Abraham Lincoln returns home after 265-day deployment

Original: The # USSAbrahamLincoln returned home to # SanDiego Bay [which # Trump just told # Iran was cool to bomb] Thursday after

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has returned to San Diego Bay after 265 uninterrupted days at sea, one of the longest carrier deployments on record. The deployment supported US operations against Iran, and reports emerged of deteriorating conditions among the crew during the extended tour. Its homecoming drew attention after Trump said Iran would be able to strike San Diego.

Why now: The record-length deployment, reported crew hardships, and Trump's remark that Iran could bomb San Diego make the carrier's return controversial.
