The USS Abraham Lincoln, an American aircraft carrier, is making a brief stop in Thailand for its crew to rest after over 250 days at sea. The vessel, carrying 5,000 personnel, was diverted to the Middle East and has been scrutinised following accounts detailing substandard accommodation. One sailor who jumped overboard is now reportedly facing disciplinary action for malingering and absence without leave.
