EVERETT WA- The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) pulled out of port early this morning beginning its 4-6 month long deployment to the west pacific. The Lincoln has become a rare sight on the Everett waterfront. In the last 2 years the ship has been in its home birth less than 13 weeks. As the Lincoln pulls away it and its complement of support ships make new ground. The Battle Group is the first one to be surged under the new fleet response plan. The navy’s new training cycle that allows the President a more flexible naval force.

"Is Depoy a military term?" No, it is an obscure Hawaiian word. Depoying is what one does after there is a drunken food fight at a Hawaiian luau.

Is that why they depoyed the Abrahm Lincon? To support Hawaii?Yes. Competitors to Hawaiian poi should be expecting several days of sustained F-18 strikes.

Shouldn't that be "berth?"

I guess they thought it could lead to a dishonorable discharge.

Thanks. I got out pre-Clinton, thank goodness.Here's hoping we don't have another one. Tac Jr. could be serving on this ship. He's a "glow worm" in training, but just got accepted in the STA program so his depoyment will be deayed for a couple more years.

My brother is on the Lincoln. It has been in drydock for most of the past 14 months or so. They went out for a few weeks the end of June. (That was when every other navy vessel shipped out for some reason.) They were not scheduled for depoyment until early next year. They found out a month ago that the timing has been changed. Thus, my bro who is scheduled to quit the Navy in January, has had his time involuntarily extended. I'm sure his new bride isn't to happy.
To: sionnsar
Wouldn't that be "re-depoy"?
