路透社巴拿马城8月13日电——美国国防部长皮特·黑格斯思周四表示，有关中东地区“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航空母舰恶劣服役条件的报道“完全失实”。
两家军事类媒体《海军时报》和《星条旗报》曾报道，这艘搭载5000名船员的舰艇自2025年11月起在外部署期间发生多起自杀未遂事件，士气持续低迷。

该航母自1月起部署于中东地区，支援美国对伊朗的作战行动。

“我们确保每一艘舰艇、每一名船员、每一位舰长在任何时刻都能获得我们所能提供的一切支持。有些部署任务时长超过其他任务，我比任何人都更尊重和感激这些水兵。他们在公海严苛环境中、靠岸次数极少的情况下坚守岗位，这实在令人钦佩，”黑格斯思在访问巴拿马期间对记者表示。
通常海军部署时长为6至9个月，但在冲突时期，部署时间可能延长。
延长部署会对船员的心理健康造成巨大压力，在战时尤其如此，这一直是美国海军面临的难题。水兵们必须保持高度戒备和待命状态，尤其是在面临伊朗无人机和导弹袭击威胁的情况下。

一位不愿透露姓名的美国官员表示，“乔治·华盛顿”号航空母舰正前往该区域，意图替换“林肯”号。该官员称，这一调动是预先计划好的。
民主党议员对“林肯”号的延长部署以及舰上状况表示不满。
“有广泛报道称，舰上存在基本物资短缺、水污染、管道故障、心理健康状况恶化、甲板安全隐患以及邮件系统中断等问题，导致许多运往该舰的包裹在运输途中丢失数月，”美国参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔本周在致黑格斯思和海军部长的信中写道。
当被问及“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号恶劣服役条件的相关报道时，白宫发言人奥利维亚·威尔士表示，总统唐纳德·特朗普和黑格斯思致力于确保美军“配备必要资源，以应对对美国的任何威胁”。

PANAMA CITY, Aug 13 (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that reports about poor conditions aboard aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East were “completely misrepresented.”
Two military-focused outlets, Navy Times and Stars and Stripes, reported suicide attempts and declining morale on the 5,000-person ship, which has been at sea since November 2025.

The carrier has been in the Middle East since January, supporting the U.S. war with Iran.

“We make sure every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment. Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in those high seas in those austere conditions with less port calls — it’s incredible,” Hegseth told reporters during a visit to Panama.
Typically naval deployments are for between six and nine months, but during times of conflict, that can be extended.
Extended deployments can pose enormous strain on crews’ mental health, particularly in wartime, and have always been a challenge for the U.S. Navy. Sailors must maintain a heightened state of alert and readiness, especially with the threat of drone and missile attack from Iran.

A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the George Washington aircraft carrier is heading to the region with the intention of replacing the Lincoln carrier. That move was pre-planned, the official said.
Democratic lawmakers are unhappy about the extended deployment of the Lincoln carrier and the conditions on the ship.
“There have been widespread reports of shortages of basic supplies, water contamination, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health, deck safety concerns, and disruptions in the mail system, which have caused many care packages in route to the ship to be lost in transit for months,” U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote to Hegseth and the Navy secretary this week.
When asked about reports of poor conditions on the Abraham Lincoln, White House spokesperson Olivia Wales said President Donald Trump and Hegseth were committed to ensuring the U.S. military was “equipped with the resources necessary to counter any threat to the United States”.
