Carrier Lincoln Sails Past Singapore, Heading Home
The News
The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has sailed past Singapore on its way home from the Middle East, the Associated Press reported Sunday.
AP journalists on the Indonesian island of Batam spotted the warship early Sunday morning as it passed through the water between Batam and Singapore.
The transit is the clearest public marker so far that the carrier's Middle East deployment is over and the ship is on the long run back across the Pacific.
Timeline
the Lincoln is sighted from Batam, Indonesia, moving through the waters between the island and Singapore.
the Associated Press reports the sighting, describing the carrier as homeward bound from the Middle East. The Independent and The Boston Globe carry the AP account.
Reactions
None of the reports carry comment from the U.S. Navy, the Pentagon, or officials in Singapore or Indonesia on the carrier's movement.
What's Next
The Lincoln continues its transit home. The Navy has not publicly announced a return date in the reporting available, and any further port calls along the route have not been confirmed by the sources covering the sighting.

The strait beside Singapore is one of the busiest shipping corridors on earth, which is why the passage of a nuclear-powered American carrier through it is visible from shore and routinely logged by reporters and ship-spotters. Carrier movements are the plainest signal Washington gives about where it is putting — and pulling back — its military weight.
