U.S. Navy Just Sent A Fresh Aircraft Carrier to Re-Enforce the Naval Blockade On Iran. CENTCOM also just publicly called out a wave of false reporting about the crew of USS Abraham Lincoln — and answered it with numbers: 84.4% reenlistment, 260+ days at sea, 10,000 aircraft flights, 1.5 million pounds of ordnance expended, and no service members lost aboard the carrier. In the same week, USS George Washington — the U.S. Navy’s only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier — left Vietnam, crossed the Singapore Strait and was confirmed in the Strait of Malacca on course for the Middle East to relieve her.
