The USS Abraham Lincoln is scheduled to dock in San Diego on Thursday, bringing approximately 5,000 service members back home following a challenging and record-setting deployment to the Middle East. The aircraft carrier completed a nearly year-long assignment marked by tough conditions, including supply shortages and low morale among the crew. The arrival on October 8, 2026, paves the way for deeply emotional family reunions on the pier. NBC’s Courtney Kube reported live from aboard the vessel as it concluded its extended mission.
