USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) History
Introduction
The way in which an author may present history of a particular subject, depends on the perspective of an historian’s point of view, in capturing the essence of the message the author wishes to get across to the reader.
Outlines of Chapters are located in the Table of Contents.
Honoring those who served aboard U.S. Aircraft Carriers is possible when Aircraft Carriers activities are reported accurately within a particular story of a Sailor’s or Airmen’s tour of duty.
This report as in all aircraft carrier history reports on the internet reference sources as the U. S. Navy, former Naval Historical Center, now a navy history command, Modern Military Branch, Associations, web sites, books and navy articles, reports or publications.
Facts or naval activities dates relating to USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) are as accurate as the sources aforementioned and were always cross referenced by navy sources referring to Command History Reports, Ship Logs, Articles, magazines (All Hands or Tail Hook), ship publications during active service and CNO Letters, News Agencies or Government sources.
Sentience’s and paragraphs were not indented within the Chapters and Appendixes of this work of authorship, as the time involved to indent would not be time well spent by the author nor is indenting a critical issue, as the history presented is as a Narrative Summary Time Line with great detail.
Bolding of Exercises, Operations, Divisions, Departments and U. S. Aircraft Carriers were done on purpose, with the exception of when one or more aircraft carriers name follow Task or Strike Group.
Names of Naval Ships and Submarines are italicized.
In 1977 Ship Haul Nos. had a dash after the designation. The Hull No. dash is no longer used by the U. S. Navy, yet all Ship Haul Nos. within U. S. Carrier Deployment History have a dash before the No.
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) History, mostly finished in 2013, but was never published, making a presentation on this web site of Abe’s CVN-72 History, I know my end goal is to compile a million sentences and paragraphs, but until that is completed, I will be publishing rather detailed, mostly confidential and secret material that has been declassified, with a Narrative, Summary and Time Line of U. S. Aircraft Carrier activities.
All four Abe CVN-72 Volumes consist of around 3,200 legal size papers of history. Author has all Aircraft Carriers History and will begin publishing books, yet commissioned aircraft carriers will average 2,300 or so legal size pages of history, requiring several Volumes each carrier.
Who knows, author might build a web site for each commissioned aircraft carrier, but I’m going to publish a few Books first.
No where in the WORLD can you find Command History Reports, rewritten and gracefully presented, with historically accurate information. CVW Air Wing Reports and Ship Articles were also referenced.
For those few that, enjoy memory lane and reading of the activities you once was involved in, then Abe CVN-72 History Reports and other U. S. Aircraft Carrier Deployment History Aircraft Carrier Ship History Reports is the for you.
I could visit a nuclear submarine in dry dock as an administrative visitor or enter any building at Bremerton, Washington Naval Ship Yard for any reason while assigned to the Operations Department, as my CO, Ops Boss was in charge of the overhaul or at least had to report to the CO the progress, acquisitions, etc., while I was in the mix of it all. I especially enjoyed the time I spent in the metal cutting shop, huge over head cranes and modern automated 1978 to 1979 technology was really cool, but the work was physically challenging because I still had to do my three months mess cooking but not in the mess haul, no way, I took the needle grinding bulkhead direction.
’m releasing a proud history of those that have served aboard Abe February 15, 2017.
Those that have and our serving aboard naval vessels, know only to well, the suffering and hardships, yet most proudly serve and when we get older, we go back in time to see if our effort made a difference.
Our service I assure you. made a difference and my work of authorship illustrates just that, mission orientated, and the job you do, whether it be cleaning heads or swabbing the deck, your effort is not only essential to the safety of the crew and ship, but the success of the ships mission which will change to state side Sea Trials, Independent Steaming Exercises, Board of Inspections (INSERV), etc:
Commissioned U. S. Aircraft Carriers Status illustrates U. S. commissioned and active aircraft carriers as a result of overhauls nearing a year or longer, limiting carrier’s deployments from 2004 to 2015.
U.S. commissioned and active aircraft carriers from 2004 to 2012, further illustrates that to rely on an eleven aircraft carrier fleet reduces deployments due to upkeep periods, upgrade, major overhaul, PSA, SRA, ESRA, DSRA, EDSRA, PIA, DPIA, COH, RCOH, shipyard sea trials, Inspection and Survey (INSURV), combat systems ship's qualification trial (CSSQT), Tailored Ship's Training Availability (TSTA), underway training exercises, Carrier Qualifications (CQ), Fleet Replacement Squadron Carrier Qualifications, Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) and sustainment exercise (SUSTAINEX).
“Once an aircraft carrier completes its JTFEX and or SUSTAINEX, it’s ready for deployment while in several instances carriers conducted there JATEX at the beginning of a deployment, while USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in support of Summer Pulse ’04, as one of seven carriers worldwide to participate in the exercise, which demonstrated the Navy’s Fleet Response Plan and took part in Exercise Majestic Eagle, the culmination of Summer Pulse '04 which is the Navy's first deployment under its new FRP, underway in the Western Atlantic from 2 to 20 June 2004 conducted COMPTUEX (Composite Unit Training Exercises) (2 June to 25 July 2004) but did not conduct JTFEX as well as USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)” (Ref. 76).
This presentation speaks for it self and for the History of USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), historically accurate, organized by date, from many sources that include U. S. Navy Ship and Air Wing Command History Reports and Articles of Abe CVN-72.
I’m proud of all you who have served your country and being an old salt, I’m particularly fond of sailors, marines and airman, so I began honoring those who have served aboard naval vessels, and in particular, U. S. Aircraft Carriers.
When we loose site of our shared history together, we loose a valuable tool, that goes a long way for recruitment, but most importantly, by reporting a ships history in the magnitude that I’m in the process of doing, illustrates it can be done by safe guarding secrets while delivering a Time Line of U. S. Aircraft Carrier activities for which boldly goes where no one has gone before.
I hope in sight itself isn’t a breach of my oath, because my work is rather detailed but fashioned in a manner that flows.
I’m hoping those who have served and are serving, really, truly give a flying hoot about the history of their sea floating commands.
Be alert for those that would disturb you're command or damage you’re ship and always represent your country as an ambassador when visiting foreign ports.
These days are UN charted waters in regards to maybe being snagged while a shore by enemies of America.
To persevere is all we can do, so I’ll deliver the history of aircraft carriers before I die in the next several years, anticipating another dozen or more books this year, which like Abe CVN-72 will have web sites.
You don’t even have to purchase a product from me to read about Old Abe's Namesake in the form of the greatest achievements man has ever accomplished in my view, less possible the Hoover Dam, but in an entirely different direction of using your brain creating, designing and constructing a sure force of strength un equaled to any other aircraft carrier of any other country.
I wish President Trump would order the Judge Advocate General of the U. S. Navy to release all declassed Command History Reports.
I’ve shown you what you can do with them, and the only way I can collect enough cash together to buy the Command History Reports from the U. S. Navy is to hope you’ll at lest purchase ebooks.
But whether you do or not, this web site as in others that I’ve created, will never be equaled, sharing history for free in hopes to snag some true believers that if you honor those who serve, by sharing the activities of their command, you reinforce the strength of the service and those who join the navy will have an opportunity to really understand the importance of the suffering and sacrifices their thinking about enduring.
I hope like CNO Admiral Tomas B. Hayward, who brought back the classic sailor uniform, you and the U. S. Navy will embrace the tradition of the services to always honor those who have served and our serving, by being historically accurate when communicating the history of an aircraft carriers history.

Abraham Lincoln is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Editors Note:
The dash between CVN ship description and the hull no., like in the case of all ships, historically (referring to Command History Reports, old ship flyers, cruise books, ship letter head on command letters, correspondence from the navy to commands, battle reports and past naval historians that wrote reports for the public, included the dash, but the modern navy chooses not to include the dash. My use of the dash is to distinguish my work from active navy articles and as well, I’ve elected to use bold black for all aircraft carriers, while for ships, submarines and aircraft were italicized. When task group or task force follows an aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier was not Bolden black. Photo Captions content was not altered, with the exception of the hull no. dash.
