亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母及其4500余名水兵和海军陆战队员于周四返回圣迭戈母港,这是该舰时隔321天首次返港,在经历包括在中东部署数月在内的长期任务后,这场归家仪式充满了喜悦氛围。
数百名亲友在阳光下等候数小时,迎接他们的至亲。当航母驶入港口时,码头上传来阵阵欢呼声。水兵们在甲板上立正列队,等待航母缓缓靠岸,在获准离舰后,他们纷纷掏出手机拨打码头亲友的电话,脸上露出笑容并挥手致意。
在其中一场团聚中,麦肯齐·阿德金斯抱着10周大的儿子德克兰,向站在航母甲板上的丈夫亚历山大挥手,这位新晋父亲随后将首次见到自己的儿子。

林肯号航母打击群此次部署时长超过10个月,其中今年有超过250天在海上不间断航行。该舰大部分时间都在中东,期间这艘航母及其护航舰艇支持美国对伊朗的行动。该舰于8月底撤离中东,启程返回圣迭戈母港,中途在泰国和关岛停靠。常驻日本的美国另一艘航母乔治·华盛顿号于8月抵达中东,接替林肯号的部署任务。
在林肯号创纪录的长期海上部署期间,海军因舰上的生活条件受到审视。有报道称舰上存在物资短缺、管道设施故障等问题,船员家属也对船员心理健康状况恶化表示担忧。
国会民主党人对此表示愤慨,要求海军就林肯号上出现的物资短缺和心理健康问题提交更多信息。五角大楼则为该舰的舰上条件进行了辩护。
USS Lincoln docks in San Diego, returning home for first time in over 10 months

The USS Abraham Lincoln and its more than 4,500 sailors and Marines returned home to San Diego on Thursday for the first time in 321 days, a jubilant homecoming after a long deployment that included months in the Middle East.
Hundreds of family members and friends waited for hours in the sun to greet their loved ones. As the ship pulled into the harbor, a roar of cheers erupted from a pier. Sailors stood at attention on the deck for the aircraft carrier’s long approach, and after they were released, smiles and waves broke out as sailors took out their phones to call people on the pier.
In one such reunion, McKenzie Adkins held her 10-week-old son Declan as she waved to her husband, Alexander, on the ship’s deck, before the new father met his son for the first time.

The Lincoln carrier strike group had been deployed for more than 10 months, including more than 250 uninterrupted days at sea this year. Much of that time was spent in the Middle East, where the aircraft carrier and its escort ships supported the U.S. war with Iran. It left the region in late August and began sailing back toward its home port of San Diego, stopping in Thailand and Guam. The Japan-based USS George Washington, another U.S. aircraft carrier, arrived in August in the Middle East to replace the Lincoln.
During the Lincoln’s record-long time at sea, the Navy drew scrutiny for conditions aboard the ship. Reports circulated of supply shortages and faulty plumbing, and families of crew members raised concerns about deteriorating mental health conditions.
Congressional Democrats expressed outrage and pressed the Navy for more information about reports of shortages and mental health issues on the Lincoln. The Pentagon has defended conditions on the ship.
