USS Abraham Lincoln returning home after being sunk three times by Iran.

(Zero Hedge)โ€”In 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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

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.

Reddit: โ€œBut it was rusty. It was so rusty! Itโ€™s Trumpโ€™s fault!โ€ <> Everyone is so focused on this one ship. Ask any sailor..their ships are always out a sea too long.

The only people stupid enough to believe Iranian propaganda and lies are Morning Joe and his sycophants, the rest of the 'on-air talent' at MSNOW, the New York Times and the heads of all the Sunday Morning News shows.

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.

I knew it had to be something like that, since itโ€™s a little difficult to navigate while sitting on the bottom of the sea. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†

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.

claiming air defense victories

The videos are obviously AI or Games

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

GhostCarrier

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?
