Late Breaking News - Lincoln Deploying Dec 7.
EVERETT, Wash. - USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) will depart Naval Station Everett on Dec. 8, after calling Everett home for nearly 15 years.
The Lincoln will get underway with Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 9, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 9 and USS Momsen (DDG 92) for a scheduled routine deployment.
