The USS Abraham Lincoln, leading a strike group with three guided missile destroyers, is equipped with 90 aircraft, including F35 fighters, and has a crew of 5,680.

The carrier has now been located off the coast of Oman, approximately 700km from Iran. This positioning may be significant amid rising tensions in the area.
