It replaced the USS Harry Truman, which is returning to its homeport at Norfolk, Va. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the carriers are a reminder to Iran that the United States is committed to the region. The Lincoln is based at Everett and left Puget Sound on March 13 for a seven-month deployment. Two other Everett-based ships, the guided-missile destroyers USS Momsen and Shoup, are part of the Lincoln's strike group.
