Confirmed, from USA Today reporting picked up widely yesterday. Real context worth adding, this is the same carrier that had to be relieved by the USS George Washington, and that handoff left the US without a carrier presence in Asia. There have also been reports of deteriorating conditions on board, including food quality and sailor mental health, which Trump officials have publicly disputed. This is more a geopolitics and defense story than a market moving one, so it might be a stretch for the finance account unless you want to tie it to the broader Iran tension thread.
The Lincoln clocked 250 days at sea, nearly double a normal carrier run, anchored in the Middle East through the Iran flare-up. A strike group burns millions a day to sit there. That same tension spiked Brent, and the pump feels it within weeks. Crews pay in time from home. Drivers pay at the bowser.
@unusual_whales The port call is relief, not the end of deployment. Lincoln was originally due home in May before being redirected to the Middle East. The real prediction question is whether Thailand is followed by San Diego, or another extension if regional demands change.
@unusual_whales Appreciate your work on this. Thoughtful market analysis is easy to recognize when you see it. You and @JimRambo8 are two accounts that consistently bring it.
@unusual_whales The rule is: if she is over 5’5” she is not a she. Important rule.
@unusual_whales Appreciate the update. Clear reasoning I can actually use. You and @meghaan_s are my top follows.
@unusual_whales They're scared to bring them back to US for fear they will tell all?????
@unusual_whales The soldiers can't go home to their families, so they're forced to go to Thailand. Aren't these soldiers human beings? Why are you destroying their social lives? x.com/marspasenger/status/2092…
@unusual_whales the navy is about to make all the ladyboys rich, not great marketing for them
@unusual_whales Watch out for the lady boys... or... lady boys watch out!
@unusual_whales lmaooo there’s gonna be a whole ton of junior enlisted men getting medivac’d off that ship afterward 🤣🤣
@unusual_whales 250+ consecutive days at sea is an insane stretch. That Thailand stop is going to feel less like a port visit and more like a mandatory reset.
@unusual_whales 250 days at sea is a brutal stretch, that stop is well earned
@unusual_whales 250 days at sea and the reward is eastern Thailand. x.com/SlepeOnBase/status/20926…
@unusual_whales After more than 250 days at sea, the USS Abraham Lincoln crew has earned some rest. A stop in Thailand will give these sailors and Marines a chance to recharge before getting back to the mission. 🇺🇸⚓
@unusual_whales i sure hope in October we don’t hear about an STD outbreak in the ship
@unusual_whales 90% are dudes with tits lol Philippines, Manila would be better place for R&R
@unusual_whales Those sailors have definitely earned some time on land.
The port is Sattahip in Chon Buri, on Thailand's eastern coast, about 19 miles north of Pattaya — the region's real entertainment hub. Pattaya's nightlife is the main draw. Its centerpiece is Walking Street, a roughly 500 m–1 km pedestrian-only strip at the southern end of Beach Road that closes to traffic in the evening (typically ~6–7 PM to 3 AM, peaking 10 PM–2 AM). It's the most famous and most commercialized nightlife zone in Thailand: 100+ venues packed with nightclubs, go-go bars, live-music bars, and seafood restaurants under heavy neon signage. It's openly a red-light district, and prices run higher than elsewhere in town with aggressive street promotion. Surrounding areas add beach clubs, the LK Metro complex, Soi Buakhao beer bars, and night markets like the Pattaya Night Bazaar and Thepprasit Weekend Market.
@unusual_whales Why not send them to Haifa, I hear it has more whores?
@unusual_whales 250+ consecutive days at sea is an insane deployment Those sailors have absolutely earned that R&R stop in Thailand
@unusual_whales 250 days at sea is basically a full deployment plus a victory lap, crew's earned that port call
@unusual_whales Some things never change. x.com/Lacedmushroom/status/209…
@unusual_whales Hegseth and Trump's smartest military maneuver yet.

@DVillemuer @unusual_whales You mean now they need supplies after not having any for months?😂 And no, there will likely be no stories, because they were forced to sign NDA's so that stories would not leak out. It's revolting.
