1900: Trust The Plan
USS Abraham Lincoln Docks in Thailand, Pattaya Shore Leave
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has docked near the Thai resort of Pattaya, granting shore leave to approximately 5,000 sailors. Media coverage, particularly from the BBC, has focused on the city's sex industry and "ladyboys," while sailors interviewed expressed interest in local temples and culture. The segment also notes the inclusion of female crew members, correcting previous gender-exclusive reporting.
