What's next for the USS Abraham Lincoln after returning home
FOX 13 Seattle has turned its attention to the work that follows a long-awaited homecoming. The USS Abraham Lincoln is back at its home port in San Diego after nearly a year at sea, with reporter Jennifer Franco covering the next chapter for the ship and crew.
"What's next for the USS Abraham Lincoln after returning home" drew about 80,000 views in its first 28 hours. That's an unusually large audience for the station's short uploads, which typically attract only a few thousand views on their first day.
The comments mix welcome-home messages with a distinctly practical conversation. Several viewers bring up dry docking, refitting and the less glamorous business of chipping and painting. Those are viewers' expectations, not confirmation of the carrier's next itinerary, but they give the discussion a different focus from the homecoming itself: what it takes to get a ship ready again after so long away.
