US Carrier Departs Pattaya for Rayong

The US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has begun its movement from Pattaya in eastern Thailand to Laem Chabang port in Rayong province, concluding its port call. Crew members are expected to return to the ship sequentially on the evening of the 5th, with the fleet scheduled to depart from Laem Chabang port on the following day, the 6th. This port call was conducted as part of the long-standing friendly relations and military cooperation between Thailand and the United States. During their stay in Pattaya, US Navy personnel reportedly had opportunities to experience local culture and engage in community interactions. The USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group aim to demonstrate the US presence in the Indo-Pacific region and contribute to maintaining security and stability in the area. This port call in Thailand is also positioned as part of these broader military diplomatic activities. Source: MGR Online (Regional)
