华盛顿讯 —— 参议院民主党人周三要求就亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母上的状况给出答复。此前有报道称，这艘航母在创纪录的部署期间出现了粮食短缺、管道损坏以及心理健康危机等问题。
在写给国防部长皮特·赫格斯西和代理海军部长曹雄的信中，来自康涅狄格州的参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔呼吁海军就该航母上的状况作出说明。他表示，该航母“已部署超过250天”，其中“超过200天未靠岸”，创下了连续海上部署天数的纪录。
布卢门撒尔对这种延长部署的情况表示担忧，他指出，有“广泛报道称航母上出现了基本物资短缺、水污染、管道问题、心理健康状况恶化、甲板安全隐患”以及其他问题。
一名海军官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“林肯号目前在局势高度紧张的区域行动，中东的传统补给枢纽因军事行动陷入中断。作为应对，领导层优先保障关键任务物资：首先是食品，其次是卫生用品，然后是邮件。来自该舰的最新消息证实，船员们始终可以获得干净的水、正常运行的空调和健康的餐食选择。”
该航母于去年11月21日从圣迭戈出发，前往南海执行任务，随后在2月28日美以对伊朗发动袭击之前被调往中东。
据MSNOW新闻报道，在最近的两次会议中，家属们就5000名船员和海军陆战队员在林肯号上遭遇的艰苦条件——包括粮食短缺——与海军领导层发生争执，并要求了解亲人何时能回国。
一些家属报告称，舰上出现了严重的心理健康问题，甚至有人试图自杀。

亚利桑那州参议员鲁本·加列戈在周三的社交媒体帖子中援引《军事时报》的报道称，近几个月来有多名船员试图跳海或在未遂后被阻止。他表示，海军“必须允许两党国会代表团访问亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母，对这一糟糕状况开展监督调查”。
这名海军官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“根据指挥部掌握的信息，我们尚未发现舰上报告的自杀意念或自杀企图有所增加。……林肯号正在提供全面的支持网络，包括舰上部署复原顾问、牧师、舰队与家庭支持中心服务、军事一站式服务中心以及医疗专业人员。”
Democratic senators demand answers about conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln

Washington — Senate Democrats demanded answers Wednesday about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, following reports of food shortages, broken plumbing and mental health crises during the aircraft carrier’s record-setting deployment.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, called for the Navy to account for conditions aboard the carrier, which he said “has been deployed more than 250 days” without coming ashore “in over 200 days, setting a record for consecutive days at sea.”
Blumenthal voiced concern over such extended deployments, noting “widespread reports of shortages of basic supplies, water contamination, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health, deck safety concerns” and other problems aboard the Lincoln.
A Navy official told CBS News that the “Lincoln is operating in a highly contested environment where traditional supply hubs in the Middle East were disrupted by combat actions. In response, leadership prioritized mission-critical supplies: first food, then hygiene items, then mail. Current reports from the ship confirm continuous access to clean water, functional AC, and healthy meal options.”
The carrier departed San Diego on Nov. 21 last year for duty in the South China Sea and was rerouted to the Middle East before U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran began on Feb. 28.
In two recent meetings, family members clashed with Navy leadership over the difficult conditions — including food shortages — faced by the 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard the Lincoln and demanded to know when loved ones would return home, MSNOW reported.
Some families reported severe mental health issues and attempted suicides on board.

Citing a report in the Military Times that several sailors had tried to jump overboard or were prevented from trying to in recent months, Sen. Ruben Gallego, of Arizona, said in a social media post Wednesday that the Navy “must allow a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to visit the USS Lincoln to conduct (an) oversight investigation into this horrible situation.”
The Navy official told CBS News,”Based on information available to the command, we have not identified an increase in reported suicidal ideation or suicide attempts aboard the ship. … (The) Lincoln is providing a comprehensive support network, including onboard deployment-resilience counselors, chaplains, Fleet and Family Support Center services, Military OneSource, and medical professionals.”
