美国海军代理部长洪·曹在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获得的一封信中表示,自去年开始的漫长部署以来,“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航母打击群内已发生8起自杀未遂事件。
曹在写给纽约州民主党参议员克里斯滕·吉利布兰德的回信中提到,这一数字涵盖了分配到林肯号航母、其舰载航空联队以及为该舰护航的驱逐舰上的水兵。舰上尚未发生自杀身亡事件。
一名国防部官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,其中两起自杀未遂事件发生在与伊朗的正面交战期间。这封信涵盖了林肯号航母打击群自去年11月开始的整个部署周期。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)率先报道了相关数据。一名海军官员证实这封信已于周二发出。
林肯号及其数千名船员已部署超过9个月,其中今年有超过250天不间断在海上执行任务。这段时间大部分都在中东地区,该航母打击群在此支持美国对伊朗的作战行动。
在此次创纪录的海上部署期间,这艘航母被曝出存在食品短缺、补给问题和管道故障等情况。船员家属也对林肯号上的水兵和海军陆战队队员日益恶化的心理健康状况表示担忧,引发了国会民主党议员的警觉。
吉利布兰德周三在一份声明中表示:“特朗普和赫克塞特国务卿斥为‘假新闻’的事件,最终证实我们的军人正面临着严重且不断恶化的处境。”
五角大楼为舰上的状况进行了辩护,称自杀未遂事件并未出现增加,且人员可获得心理咨询师、牧师和其他支持服务。
当被问及置评请求时,美国海军将哥伦比亚广播公司新闻引向曹上周末在X平台发布的一段视频。这位海军最高文职官员在视频中谈及心理健康问题时表示:“我们必须直面不断上升的自杀浪潮。”
他的妻子埃普里尔也出现在视频中,鼓励人们直言面临的任何困难。
林肯号已于上月末被“乔治·华盛顿”号航母接替,撤离中东地区,并于9月初在泰国停靠。该航母本周早些时候抵达关岛,正朝着其母港圣迭戈航行。
曹告诉吉利布兰德,林肯号的确切行程和返回母港的计划属于机密,但他证实了有关该舰已被解除中东任务的报道。

Navy reports 8 suicide attempts on carrier group that faced monthslong deployment amid Iran war

There have been eight suicide attempts across the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group since the beginning of its grueling monthslong deployment last year, Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said in a letter obtained by CBS News.
That number includes sailors assigned to the Lincoln aircraft carrier, its air wing and the destroyers that are escorting the ship, Cao wrote in response to questions from Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. No suicides have taken place onboard.
A defense official told CBS News two of the suicide attempts occurred during active fighting with Iran. The letter covers the entire length of the Lincoln strike group’s deployment, which began in November of last year.
CNN was first to report the figures. A Navy official confirmed the letter was sent Tuesday.
The Lincoln and its thousands of crew members have been deployed for more than nine months, including more than 250 uninterrupted days at sea this year. Much of that time was spent in the Middle East, where the carrier strike group supported the U.S. war against Iran.
During its record-long time at sea, the aircraft carrier faced reports of food shortages, supply issues and faulty plumbing. The families of crew members also raised concerns about deteriorating mental health among the sailors and Marines assigned to the Lincoln, drawing alarm from congressional Democrats.
“What Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismissed as ‘fake news’ turned out to be serious and deteriorating conditions for our service members,” Gillibrand said in a statement Wednesday.
The Pentagon has defended conditions on the ship, saying there has not been an increase in suicide attempts and personnel have access to counselors, chaplains and other support.
Asked for comment, the Navy referred CBS News to a video that Cao posted to X over the weekend. The Navy’s top civilian official addressed mental health, saying: “We must confront the rising tide of suicide head-on.”
His wife, April, also appeared in the video and encouraged people to speak up about any challenges.
The Lincoln left the Middle East late last month after it was relieved by the USS George Washington, and it docked in Thailand in early September. The carrier arrived in Guam earlier this week, as it sails in the direction of its home port of San Diego.
Cao told Gillibrand the Lincoln’s exact schedule and plans to return to its home port are classified, but he confirmed reports that it was relieved of its duties in the Middle East.
