Story summary

Pete Hegseth, the US Defense Secretary, visited the USS Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday before it returned to San Diego after a record-breaking 265-day deployment off the coast of Iran. The Lincoln received the Presidential Unit Citation, typically awarded for combat achievements, marking one of the longest deployments since the Cold War. Despite facing criticism over crew stress and supply shortages during the mission, Hegseth praised the sailors' resilience and dedication. The ship's return to San Diego on Thursday concluded its support in the ongoing conflict with Iran.
