The USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier that spent an unusually long stretch deployed at sea, has returned to San Diego Bay. The carrier and its crew had been extended on station amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, making the homecoming a notable relief for sailors' families and a milestone for the Navy's carrier operations schedule.
Why now: The carrier's deployment was unusually long and closely followed, so its homecoming draws attention from military watchers and families.
