Everett, Wash. (Mar. 4, 2005) -- The crew of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) man the rails as tugboats prepare to guide the ship along side the pier on board Naval Station Everett, Wash., following a deployment to the Western Pacific Ocean. The Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and embarked Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) supported Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian relief effort to aid the victims of the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia.
