The Legend Continues... USS Abraham Lincoln Deploys Un 2nd WestPac Since 1910, the aircraft carrier has altered glo- bal, political and military affairs. The Nimitz-class carrier is at the forefront of the Navy's effort to maintain peace in a volatile world. USS Abraham Lincoln has continued that tradition since commis- sioning in 1989. This book documents the mighty warshipslune to December 1993 deployment to the Western Pa- cific, the Arabian Gulf and the lndian Ocean -- Lincoln's second major deployment. Whether conducting exercises with the lapa- nese in the South China Sea, enforcing the No-Fly Zone over Southern Iraq or making top speed to- ward the coast of Somalia, USS Abraham Lincoln continued to earn the nickname, The Legend. The sailors and Marines who served aboard Lincoln during the carriers 1993 overseas deploy- ment proved once again that they are fully capable of the requirements of the Navy's new goals of coastal region operations and joint service missions. Ultimately, each sailor and Marine who served with the Lincoln during her deployment earned the credit for ensuring that the carriers mission was successful. As the warship returned to her homeport of Alameda, Ca. on December 15, those family mem- bers and friends who had gathered to greet their sailors were justifiably proud of what had been accomplished. Each crew member was a part of that Legend on which they had served.
