Liste 3 de 35. 000 marinheiros dos EUA que desembarcam na Tailândia enquanto o USS Abraham Lincoln atraca.

Carrying a crew of 5,000, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was seen making its way into the Laem Chabang port in Chonburi province early on Wednesday, shortly after the destroyer USS Frank E Petersen Jr sailed past the area, accompanied by other US naval vessels.

By afternoon, busloads of plainclothes sailors and Marines arrived at a resort hotel in Pattaya, a coastal city 150 kilometres (93 miles) southeast of Bangkok. Thai officials have said the Lincoln’s stop would be for rest and recovery before returning to its US base.

The Lincoln had been anchoring the US naval blockade and combat operations during the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Enquanto os membros da tripulação permaneceram fora de alcance para comentários, o casco envelhecido do navio era perceptível, e o próprio navio parecia precisar de pelo menos uma nova pintura, segundo os jornalistas da Associated Press (AP) que estavam presentes no local.

Large rust patches blemished the exterior, particularly along the waterline and the edge of the flight deck where fighters and helicopters sat parked.

When asked about the aircraft carrier’s lacklustre appearance, Captain Dan Keeler, the Lincoln’s commanding officer, replied that “it is normal for a long deployment” and declined to comment further.

Presidente dos EUA Donald Trump rejeitou as preocupações levantadas pelas famílias dos membros da tripulação do Lincoln sobre o prolongado deslocamento do porta-aviões durante semanas.

Os deslocamentos navais padrão abrangem de seis a nove meses, estendendo-se apenas durante períodos de conflito intenso.

Weeks ago at Joint Base Andrews, the home base for Air Force One, reporters had asked the president if the Lincoln had been at sea for too long. He responded, “No, not nearly long enough.”.

Questioned about his thoughts regarding Trump’s earlier remarks, the commanding officer said: “So, the president speaks for himself.”.

Ele disse à AP: "Isso é o que eu penso sobre isso.

The sailors and Marines are expected to rest in Thailand for several days.

Durante seu segundo mandato, Trump prometeu evitar conflitos militares prolongados e de alto custo. E após lançar uma guerra conjunta com Israel contra o Irã, o presidente e seus assessores disseram que o conflito duraria apenas algumas semanas.

The war has now entered its seventh month.
