Two U.S. service members from the USS Abraham Lincoln were sent back to the aircraft carrier and confined on board after a drunken brawl in Pattaya, Thailand. Thai police responded to an emergency call at about 1:30 a.m. on Thursday and took the sailors to a joint U.S.-Thailand operations centre before they were returned to the ship. The incident was described as minor. The Lincoln, carrying about 5,000 sailors and Marines, arrived in Thailand after a record 286 days at sea. The five-day port call was meant to give the crew time to rest and recover after the prolonged deployment. (PC: The Independent)
