Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2 arrived in Antalya, Turkey, for a scheduled port visit, July 17.
The port visit will provide Sailors the opportunity to experience the Turkish culture and traditions, take tours of the surrounding areas, interact with Turkish citizens and unwind following an at-sea period.
The ship’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team organized several tours for the crew to enjoy, including visits to the ancient cities of Aspendos, Perge and Heiropolis. Lincoln Sailors will also enjoy whitewater rafting tours, golf tournaments and horseback riding.
“I’m looking forward to experiencing a thrill in a foreign country,” said Personnel Specialist 3rd Class Jennifer Brenke, who is planning to go whitewater rafting while the ship is in port. “How many people can say they’ve been able to do this kind of thing in Turkey?”
In addition to sightseeing and tours, Sailors will compete against local teams in soccer and basketball games organized by the ship’s Religious Ministries department.
