The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has spent more than 210 consecutive days at sea, setting a new record for a modern U.S. aircraft carrier as it continues operations in the Middle East.
The Nimitz-class carrier, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 3 (CSG-3), has not made a port call since a brief stop in Guam on Dec. 11-12, 2025, after leaving Naval Base San Diego on Nov. 21, 2025.
It is now operating in the northern Arabian Sea after taking part in Operation Epic Fury and the U.S. naval blockade of Iran.
The deployment comes as U.S. naval forces continue operating around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest oil shipping routes.
More than 20 U.S. Navy surface combatants and over 50,000 American troops remain deployed across the Middle East as uncertainty continues over talks between Washington and Tehran following recent exchanges of strikes.
