USS Abraham Lincoln returns to San Diego

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Pete Hegseth’s appearance in San Diego and the USS Abraham Lincoln’s return after a record-long deployment. The Hill frames the story as Hegseth welcoming the ship home, while PBS NewsHour foregrounds him awarding the carrier a Presidential Unit Citation before its return and adds that he spoke to the crew. Only PBS NewsHour mentions the citation and that the visit came one day before the ship’s homecoming.
