EVERETT – After a seven-month deployment, the USS Abraham Lincoln Strike Group has come home.
The USS Lincoln, USS Momsen and USS Shoup were greeted by a record crowd of an estimated 5,000 family and friends waiting at Naval Station Everett to welcome the sailors home.
The strike group spent the majority of their deployment in the Persian Gulf supporting military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
