Two sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln were sent back to their ship following a drunken brawl in Pattaya, Thailand. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday near the popular nightlife area, Walking Street, as reported by Thai police.

City police chief Colonel Anek Srathongyoo stated that the police were alerted to a small scuffle involving the sailors. He described the conflict as trivial, noting that it primarily involved loud noises from the sailors after they had been drinking.

According to a report, the unidentified US sailors were not charged by the police, as their actions did not violate any Thai law. The incident was characterized as a minor disturbance rather than a serious legal matter.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is currently docked in Thailand after an extended deployment of 286 days at sea. This port call has allowed crew members a chance to visit the local area.
