Confirmed The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln docked in San Diego after spending more than 300 days at sea.
Multiple results state that the USS Abraham Lincoln returned to San Diego after more than 300 days at sea, with reports of 322 days (NBC) and 321 days (USNI). The small difference between those two day counts does not affect the claim's core.

Confirmed The USS Abraham Lincoln's deployment was one of the longest ever recorded.
Multiple results say the Lincoln's deployment of roughly 321 to 322 days was the second-longest since the Cold War or Vietnam War, and only the Gerald R. Ford's 326-day deployment was longer. The exact day count varies slightly between sources (321 vs. 322), which does not affect the core claim.

Confirmed Families welcomed home thousands of crew members from the USS Abraham Lincoln when it returned to San Diego.
Multiple results report that families greeted the Lincoln's crew when it returned to San Diego, and the San Diego Union-Tribune says the roughly 5,000-person crew was greeted by thousands of family members. The exact count of crew members welcomed is not stated separately, but the core event, place, and scale are supported.

Confirmed The deployment lasted about 10 months, as the article's title states.
Several results explicitly describe the deployment as 10 months (the LA Times snippet, the PACOM release, and the USA Today caption). However, the LA Times headline quoted in result 1 says 'record-long deployment' and does not state 10 months, so the claim that the title states this is not supported.
