Everett mascot Lincoln the bear wears No. 72 on his jersey in honor of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), whose home port is Everett. The aircraft carrier, commissioned in 1989, is 1,092 feet long and has a flight deck of 4 1/2 acres. The ship is scheduled to move to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on April 17.
With the ship gone, I wonder if Lincoln will change his jersey number.
