Honest Abe Is Getting A Facelift
She's the second Naval ship to be named after the 16th President of the United States.
Getting close to our dock we passed by NAS North Island, home to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Abe is sitting at the old dock for the USS Kittyhawk (CVA 63) where I did my time in the Navy.
The Abe Lincoln suffered a minor fire that injured 9 sailors on 29 November 2022. The cause is unknown and an investigation was launched. This may be repairs from the fire or just scheduled maintenance, don't know for sure.
In the background you can see the USNS John Lewis (T-AO 205), the Navy's newest John Lewis-class fleet oiler. I've got a better picture of her that I'll post!
Again, that early morning light in San Diego was beautiful!
