美国亚伯拉罕·林肯号航空母舰于周日凌晨驶过新加坡,结束在中东的艰苦部署后返回本土。该航母预计将在泰国停靠进行港口访问。
美联社记者在新加坡海峡对岸的印尼巴淡岛目击到这艘巨型舰艇于当地时间凌晨1点多途经新加坡附近海域。
驻扎日本的美国另一艘航母乔治·华盛顿号已于本月早些时候抵达中东,接替林肯号的任务。
作为美国海军最大战舰之一的林肯号,此前一直在支援美国对伊朗的军事行动。此次部署创下了超过250天连续海上部署的纪录。此前有报道称舰上船员心理健康状况恶化、食品和卫生用品等物资短缺,外界对林肯号过长的部署时间的担忧日益加剧。
泰国官员表示,林肯号将在返回美国本土基地前停靠泰国进行休整和恢复。
亚伯拉罕·林肯号及其约5000名船员于11月21日从圣迭戈出发。始于2月的对伊朗军事行动延长了此次部署任务,并加重了他们的工作负担。该舰作为数千架次战机的起飞点,为空袭行动提供支援。
船员家属此前表达了对船上卫生和心理健康状况恶化以及食品短缺的担忧。美国中央司令部表示,有关船员自杀念头增加的报道是虚假的,并称舰上没有人员死亡。根据美国海军一份声明,8月3日一名船员落水后被救起的事件具体情况仍在调查中。美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯当时曾表示,有关这艘航母舰上问题的报道被“夸大失实”。
杰斐逊·凯利的儿子杰克逊正在林肯号上执行他的首次部署任务,他本月早些时候在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间节目》中表示,如果能让儿子回到母亲、兄弟姐妹和家人身边,他“今晚就会搭飞机或直升机奔赴林肯号”。
“他们不该被部署这么久,”凯利说,“这些都是老旧舰艇,根本算不上最先进的。它们需要大量维护和保养,而且是全天候的。”

USS Lincoln sails past Singapore on its way to the Middle East after grueling 9-month deployment
August 30, 2026 / 7:07 AM EDT / CBS/AP
The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln sailed past Singapore early on Sunday as it headed home after a grueling deployment in the Middle East. It’s expected to stop in Thailand for a port visit.
Associated Press journalists on the Indonesian island of Batam, across the Singapore Strait, spotted the massive vessel as it transited waters near Singapore just after 1 a.m. local time.
The Japan-based USS George Washington, another U.S. aircraft carrier, arrived earlier this month in the Middle East to replace the USS Lincoln.
The Lincoln, one of the U.S. Navy’s largest warships, was supporting the U.S. war against Iran. Its deployment included a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 250 days. Concerns have grown about the Lincoln’s lengthy deployment following reports of deteriorating mental health among the crew and shortages of supplies including food and hygiene products.
Thai officials have said the Lincoln will stop in Thailand for rest and recovery before returning to its U.S. base.
The USS Abraham Lincoln and its roughly 5,000 crew members left San Diego on Nov. 21. The war with Iran, which began in February, extended the mission and intensified their workload. The ship has served as a launch point for thousands of aircraft flights supporting the strikes.
Family members have voiced concerns about deteriorating sanitary and mental health conditions, and alleged food shortages. U.S. Central Command said reports of increased suicidal ideation among the crew were false, and said there have been no deaths aboard the vessel. The circumstances of an incident on Aug. 3 where a sailor fell overboard and was recovered remain under investigation, according to a Navy statement. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at the time that reports of issues onboard the aircraft carried had been “misrepresented.”
Jefferson Kelley, whose son Jackson is aboard the Lincoln on his first-ever deployment, told “CBS Mornings earlier this month that he would “get on a plane or helicopter tonight to get shipped out to the Lincoln if it meant bringing him home to his mom and his siblings and his family.”
“They should not be deployed this long,” Kelley said. “These are old ships. It’s not like they’re even state-of-the-art. And they take a lot of maintenance, a lot of work. It’s around the clock.”
