The figures

Coverage: 38 outlets in 27 countries, across 4 regions, 2 of them trade press. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 38 outlets, 6 state-owned, 1 public-service, 31 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 4: Argentina, Canada, Peru, United States. Asia-Pacific 8: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Europe 9: Czechia, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Sweden, United Kingdom. Middle East 5: Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. International 1: the outlets that publish from no single country, counted as one. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: Arabic, Czech, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article Marine Insight, 7 Oct 2026, 14:07 UTC. First seen 7 Oct 2026, 20:20 UTC. Last seen 9 Oct 2026, 04:50 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region Americas, United States. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: 11.86, as of now. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Merged from 3 stories USS Abraham Lincoln carrier returns to San Diego after record deployment; USS Abraham Lincoln returns after extended deployment; USS Abraham Lincoln returns to US after Middle East deployment. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box. A story merged from several was grouped from stories about the same event; each keeps its own headline and page, and the whole story counts every outlet and country once.
Day by day: Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
