5.000 de marinarii de pe USS Abraham Lincoln au „luat cu asalt” Thailanda. Au stat 250 de zile pe mare • Newsweek România

After 250 days at sea, the USS Abraham Lincoln has docked in Thailand, bringing 5,000 sailors ashore. This deployment was extended due to rising tensions in the Middle East. The crew's long absence raised concerns about their mental health and living conditions. Pattaya is preparing for a significant influx of American sailors, with local businesses expecting substantial economic benefits. The city is enhancing security measures to manage the crowds and ensure order. Certain recreational activities for the sailors have been restricted, including the use of marijuana and risky water sports.
