(Zero Hedge)โIn yet another example of Iranian social media claims not matching up with reality, the nuclear powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is returning home after a 286 day deployment and 5 days of rest at port in Thailand. The ship was untouched by any signs of combat, despite the IRGC claiming on at least three separate occasions that they had sunk the mighty vessel with drones and missile strikes.
Iranian aligned accounts even spread AI videos and video game clips of a ship sinking, arguing that the clips showed the Abraham Lincoln. Left wing commentators celebrated the news, only to scrub their posts after it was revealed that the information was fake.

Prostitutes in Thailand had more impact on the Lincoln than anything the Iranians threw at it. Welcome home!

They never realized that we fill our aircraft carriers with ping-pong balls. When sunk they just pop back to the surface.

Well, those automatic refloating devices they added to the hull of the carrier sure came in handy.

Sunk must mean something different from what I learned long ago.

Rust is a constant battle for a steel ship on the salty ocean. I figure that she will be in drydock for a fairly long refit.

Aureomycin was my drug of choice for Bangkok R&R ‘conditions’.
Each R&R country had its own strain(s) of the clap.
After a while we learned how to give customized treatment.
All done quietly and confidentially.

There are actually videos on YouTube
claiming air defense victories
The videos are obviously AI or Games

It's the dreaded
Ghost Carrier, crewed by sailors thrice dead.

Captained by the vengeful spirit of Israeli-American Shiv R. Metimberz.

What are “Hot Seats”? I was in the Navy in late ‘70’d thru ‘83, but don’t recall that.
Is it something between a Sheep Dip style decontaminent and Kim Kardashian’s modified backside?
To: lee martell
Not ex-Navy but as understand it, sailors who overindulged on liberty and paid the STD price were completed to use a toilet with a red seat until cleared of the disease.
