Yes, I meant to type carrier rather than battleship. My fingers sometimes get those two confused. And you are also correct that it was the ships' deployment that was over rather than its commissioned service. As clarified by Navy spokesman, Commander Conrad Chun, "the banner signified the successful completion of the ship's deployment," noting that the Abraham Lincoln was deployed 290 days, which is longer than any other nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history.
So, apart from a couple of errors in details in my post, are you saying that to claim the Lincoln had accomplished its mission is a lie?
That post should have been directed to another poster, in addition to or rather than to you. In re-reading the posts it appears you were offering a clarification/correction to my comment rather than calling it a lie.
Just goes to show I should review, research, and verify my facts rather than just posting based on my memory of something from several years back.
