Lincoln is deployed to the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet area of responsibility to support maritime security operations and help develop security in the maritime environment, which promotes stability and global prosperity. These operations compliment the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional nations and seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.
