NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND, Calif. – When the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) pulls away from its California berth for its upcoming deployment, the crew will embark with some homey creature comforts.

Comforts like cushy club chairs by an electric fireplace, reliable WIFI, a gaming room, a stadium-seating movie theater. There are also phones, a pair of teal-blue rotary dial phones plain old telephone system lines, are tucked into two enclosed, sound-proofed booths.
