“林肯”号航母自2026年1月下旬起部署于中东,参与美国针对伊朗的军事行动。
中新网9月7日电 综合美国《国会山报》等外媒报道,美国海军“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰在结束对泰国为期五天的港口访问以及在中东地区的长时间部署后,于当地时间6日启程返回美国。
持续部署286天,水兵称“最糟糕的一次”
据美联社、美国《国会山报》介绍,“林肯”号航母搭载约5000名水兵和海军陆战队员,2025年11月离开加州圣迭戈后持续部署286天;在抵达泰国前,连续在海上航行264天。
在6日宣布该舰离港的声明中,“林肯”号舰长丹·基勒对泰方表示感谢,并称泰方的接待让舰上5000名水兵和海军陆战队员得以“休整充电”。
两名在美国海军服役超过10年的水兵早些时候接受美国全国广播公司(NBC)采访时表示,相较于中途停靠休整,他们更希望直接返回圣迭戈。虽然多次执行海外任务,但两人都坦言,此次部署是各自军旅生涯中“状况最糟的一次”。
另据美国媒体报道,美军“乔治·华盛顿”号航母预计将接替“林肯”号。
曝食物短缺、精神崩溃,舰上“苦难”远超美官方所言
此前有多份报道曝光“林肯”号航母上的恶劣条件,包括食物短缺、食品污染、官兵士气低落以及自杀未遂事件。
美媒援引舰员家属的话报道,糟糕的生活待遇和每天12至16小时的繁重工作,让“林肯”号官兵精疲力竭,甚至有人精神崩溃试图跳海。美国海军表示,舰上持续评估舰员的心理状态。
美国有线电视新闻网报道称,其派员上舰实地走访后,认为“林肯”号的恶劣生存条件与水兵心理健康问题“真实存在”,舰上“苦难”状况远比五角大楼官方表态复杂得多。
据英国《卫报》早些时候报道,美国总统特朗普将这些报道斥为“假新闻”;而国防部长赫格塞斯则表示,相关报道“完全曲解”了舰上实际情况。
中东局势持续升级,舰况恶化引关注
据美联社等媒体报道,该航母自2026年1月下旬起部署于中东,参与美国针对伊朗的军事行动。
路透社报道指出,舰体布满锈迹,吃水线附近的油漆也出现斑驳脱落。哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)也指出,从舰体外观来看,“林肯”号航母似乎至少需要重新涂装:舰体上布满大片疑似锈迹的斑块,尤其是在水线稍上方以及飞行甲板边缘较为明显。
许多外媒用“触目惊心”这一词形容这一幕。
《纽约时报》等媒体援引专家观点指出,伊朗对美军驻巴林主要后勤基地的打击,致使该航母失去关键补给节点,是“林肯”号状态持续恶化的重要原因之一。
近日,美国与伊朗之间的紧张局势持续升级。据美国《国会山报》报道,在伊朗袭击两艘美国海军军舰后,美国于5日对伊朗哈尔克岛上的数艘油轮发动了打击。伊朗媒体6日称,伊朗攻击了一艘试图进入霍尔木兹海峡限制区域的美军船只。

In response to the military threat of the Chinese Communist Party and to cooperate with the return of the first batch of F-16V fighter jets to Taiwan, the Air Force plans to invest more than 6.87867 billion yuan from 2027 to 2031 to build 26 high-explosion-resistant protective aircraft forts in Hualien and Taitung, implementing the "one aircraft, one warehouse" policy to strengthen the preservation of combat power.

South Korea, the United States and Japan launched a five-day "Freedom Blade" multi-domain joint military exercise on the 7th, aiming to improve their ability to deter and respond to North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile threats and safeguard regional peace and stability. This is the fourth implementation of this exercise since it was first held in June 2024.

The proposed Trump-class battleship, part of a new 'Golden Fleet', combines heavy missile capacity with large naval guns, sparking expert and public debate over its practicality and high cost.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un announced at the commissioning ceremony of the new ship Kangjian that the 5,000-ton destroyer will be included in North Korea's nuclear counterattack system and can launch devastating retaliatory strikes, but he did not specify whether it will carry nuclear weapons. This ship is the second Choi Hyun-class destroyer and is deployed in the East China Sea of the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. Navy decided to directly modify the SLAM-ER missile contract signed with General Dynamics in 2019 due to the large number of Tomahawk missiles fired during military operations in the Middle East, which caused the inventory to bottom out. It requires the production and delivery of Tomahawk missile warhead casings within nine months to shorten the procurement time and accelerate the replenishment of inventory. This move is aimed at responding to the demand for ammunition caused by current international conflicts, and also reflects that the US military is promoting a number of arrangements to increase the production of precision ammunition.

British sea power experts pointed out that the tight global deployment and maintenance of U.S. aircraft carriers and naval ships existed long before the outbreak of the Iran war, affecting the Indo-Pacific deterrence capability. Taking the excessive deployment of the USS Lincoln as an example, they analyzed that the overuse of U.S. warships has led to maintenance delays and reduced combat readiness. China may use this opportunity to put pressure on Taiwan.
