The Lincoln arrived at Alameda sometime in November, I believe. It
has been on a routine cruise and is scheduled to arrive back in port
today (1-25-91). There are rumours that it will not return but instead
is already on its way to the Persian Gulf.

When it stopped at Port Everglades last spring (February? March? I can't
remember!) it had an air wing. I recall overhearing more than one
sailor grip that the pilots had flown home just before it entered port.
Everyone else got home two weeks later.
