VIDEO Cum arată un portavion nuclear al SUA după 286 de zile pe mare. Exemplul USS Abraham Lincoln • Newsweek România

The USS Abraham Lincoln, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, has returned to Thailand after 286 days at sea, showing significant wear and rust. The ship's exterior displays large rust spots, and water leaks are evident, typical for vessels exposed to harsh marine conditions. The F-35C aircraft onboard have also suffered discoloration due to the environment, contrasting with the better-preserved F/A-18E/F jets. Despite its condition, the Lincoln's deployment duration is not a record; the USS Midway holds the longest at 332 days during the Vietnam War.
