The USS Abraham Lincoln conducted large-scale combat-style drills in the Arabian Sea amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions. This comes after the carrier shot down an Iranian drone near international waters, prompting heightened alert across the region. The exercises included mass casualty response, emergency coordination, and damage control, highlighting the Navy’s preparedness amid a volatile geopolitical situation. Analysts note the dual-carrier presence, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, signals U.S. deterrence while maintaining maritime security and readiness for potential escalation in the Gulf region.
