USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is the fifth Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in the United States Navy. Her home port is NAS North Island, San Diego, California; she is a member of the United States Pacific Fleet.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has a length of 332.8 m, a beam of 76.8 m, and a draught of 12.5 m. It has a displacement of 97,000 tons. The propulsion system consists of two Westinghouse A4W nuclear reactors, four steam turbines, and four shafts. The ship can reach a top speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h) and has an unlimited cruising range due to the nuclear engines.

The USS Abraham Lincoln can carry 90 aircraft and helicopters including nine squadrons with Super Hornet and Hornet fighters, E-2 Hawkeye early-warning fixed-wing, Grumman C-2 Greyhound cargo aircraft, and SH-60 Seahawk naval helicopters. The vessel can accommodate up to 5,680 people, including the ship’s crew of 3,200 and aircrew of 2,480.

The Nimitz class is a class of ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the United States Navy. All ten carriers were constructed by Newport News Shipbuilding Company in Virginia.

Since the 1970s, Nimitz-class carriers have participated in many conflicts and operations across the world, including Operation Eagle Claw in Iran, the Gulf War, and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
