[If only this power was being deployed for the exclusive benefit of our race. The US Navy has the greatest firepower of any fleet on the planet. It is a very powerful tool. Too bad it is being used by clowns, liars, traitors and mainly Jews. Jan]
The U.S. Navy has announced that the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group arrived at Naval Air Station North Island Jan. 20, marking the end of a 10-month deployment to the U.S. 6th, 5th, and 7th Fleet areas of operation.
The strike group deployed April 1 from Norfolk, Virginia, in support of maritime stability and security. With flagship USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), embarked airwing Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7, and the staffs of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12 and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 2, the strike group steamed east all the way around the world.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the work that our team accomplished during this deployment,” said Rear Adm. Michael Boyle, commander, CSG 12. “Over the course of 10 months the Sailors of the Abraham Lincoln Strike Group made a difference in some of the world’s most critical waterways, ensuring the free flow of commerce and deterring aggression through strength and readiness. They can return home knowing that their service to our Navy and our Nation made a positive difference.”
The 295-day deployment is the longest carrier deployment in the post-Cold War era.
The strike group was expedited to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in early May, in response to credible threats to maritime security. Over the course of its seven months in theater, the strike group sustained critical presence operations to deter aggression. It also conducted combat missions in support of Operations Freedom’s Sentinel and Inherent Resolve, ultimately flying 392 combat sorties and over 28,000 flight hours.
“An aircraft carrier, with its embarked airwing, is one of the most powerful assets our Navy has at its disposal,” said Capt. William Reed, commander, CVW 7. “The airwing can project power from the carrier, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities to a combatant commander. I think our deployment shows just how impactful a carrier can be in theater.”
While operating in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations, ABECSG supported coalition theater security operation efforts, conducting multiple partnership-building and interoperability evolutions in the region. The strike group participated in various multilateral maritime warfare exercises with militaries from Great Britain, Italy, Romania, Lithuania, and Spain that promoted proficiency across platforms and services. Building on key leader engagement efforts, Abraham Lincoln hosted international leaders including numerous ambassadors, heads of state, chiefs of defense, and NATO representatives from regional allies.
Demonstrating the U.S. Navy’s ability to operate alongside sister services and to aggregate credible combat forces anywhere in the world, the strike group also conducted combined operations with the John C. Stennis Strike Group and Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group, as well as joint exercises with a U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress.
In the U.S. 7th Fleet, the strike group conducted flight operations inside the South China Sea in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific. Hosting a Thai military delegation, the strike group also worked toward strengthening key partnerships in the region.
Over the 10-month deployment, ABECSG travelled over 64,000 nautical miles and completed multiple strait and choke point transits, including the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, the Bab-el Mandeb, the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, and the Surigao Strait.
The conclusion of deployment also marks an important milestone for Abraham Lincoln, completing a homeport shift from Naval Station Norfolk to Naval Air Station North Island. This deployment is the ship’s first since completing its Refueling Complex Overhaul, a standard period of a carrier’s lifecycle designed to prepare it for the second half of its lifespan.
“On Abe, we strive for excellence every day,” said Capt. Walt Slaughter, commanding officer of Abraham Lincoln. “This deployment was our chance to show the world that we are ready, we are professional, and we will be absolutely relentless in our execution of any mission we are called to complete.”
Now at home in San Diego, Abraham Lincoln and its crew will undergo the next stage of the ship’s operational and maintenance lifecycle, but not before Sailors have a chance to take some time to learn about their new homeport.
“San Diego is an incredible place to live and work, and the crew is looking forward to reconnecting with families and then getting out to explore,” Slaughter said. “While leaving Norfolk was bittersweet, ABE was originally a West Coast ship, so this is really a homecoming in more ways than one.”
The embarked airwing and staffs of CSG 12 and DESRON 2 will return to their respective home bases throughout the East and West Coasts.
The Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyers USS Bainbridge (DDG 96), USS Mason (DDG 87), and USS Nitze (DDG 94), and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), which deployed as part of ABECSG in April, completed their deployment and returned to their homeport of Naval Station Norfolk in late 2019 and early 2020.
