USS Abraham Lincoln Surpasses 200 Days at Sea, Possibly Setting Modern Carrier Record
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has been continuously underway for more than 200 days in support of Operation Epic Fury and the subsequent naval blockade of Iran, potentially setting a record for the longest continuous at-sea deployment in modern carrier history. The ship departed San Diego on November 21, 2025, and remains on station in the northern Arabian Sea, with more than 5,000 crew members having gone over seven months without a formal port call.
