The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln docked in San Diego on Thursday following a grueling, record-breaking deployment lasting 322 days, or more than 10 months. The Nimitz-class carrier returned from the Middle East, a stretch at sea that included a stop in Thailand last month.
Thousands of military families turned out to welcome the weary sailors home, with some family members expressing mixed emotions. The deployment took a severe toll on those on board, marked by tight food supplies and degrading mental health.
