Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter M.L. Lyke and photographer Grant M. Haller are among a group of journalists embedded with U.S. forces on board the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and Lyke is writing a continuous Weblog for seattlepi.com about her experiences, called Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. “Being first on board has advantages.
