The USS Abraham Lincoln and its crew will undergo the final training session required before it deploys in a couple of months. The huge warship will be accompanied on this training mission by two Everett guided-missile destroyers, which also will tag along for the deployment: the USS Shoup and the USS Momsen. The ships are expected to return to Everett in early February to get ready for the six-month trip overseas The Lincoln’s deployment will be the first for the aircraft carrier since the ship got out of a major overhaul seven months ago in Bremerton. The Lincoln’s crew is around 3,000, which balloons to more than 5,000 when the air crews come aboard. Each destroyer carries a crew of 350 or so.
