On August 20, local time, according to a source familiar with the matter, the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS “Abraham Lincoln” has begun returning home. Earlier, the aircraft carrier “George Washington” had arrived in the Middle East to ease the pressure brought about by the long-term deployment of the “Lincoln”. However, an American official said that the “Lincoln” is currently still in the US Navy's Fifth Fleet area of operation, which means it has not left the US Central Command's area of responsibility. The aircraft carrier “Lincoln” was transferred to the Middle East in January of this year to participate in the US military operation against Iran and the US military's naval blockade of Iran. It has been deployed for over 250 days. Recently, it was revealed that the sailors aboard the aircraft carrier had living conditions and mental health problems due to their intense combat rhythm and long-term deployment.
