USS Abraham Lincoln enters Persian Gulf
Nuclear-powered USS Abraham Lincoln with its military escort has entered the Persian Gulf, after having passed through the Hormuz Straight, the US Navy press office says.The aircraft carrier is expected to replenish its stocks in one of the region's ports.
Defense officials said Tuesday that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was moved out of the Persian Gulf and to the Gulf of Oman, shortening the time that the carrier's strike planes must fly to support combat in Afghanistan.
