A member of the crew of USS Abraham Lincoln stands the aft port lookout watch as aircraft are launched and recovered from the ship?s flight deck above.

The Abraham Lincoln is on a regularly scheduled six-month deloyment conducting combat missions in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Southern Watch.
