美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）周日表示，尽管针对这艘航母恶劣舰上条件的指控不断增多，但亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母的心理健康病例数在海军中处于最低水平之列。
林肯号航母已在海上部署超260天，以支持对伊朗的相关行动，近期因被指存在物资短缺、 plumbing故障以及船员威胁跳海等问题陷入争议。多名官员此前多次否认相关指控，并于周五宣布该航母预计很快将被替换。
在中央司令部发布的一份声明中，司令海军上将布拉德·库珀称，据报道他已于周末登舰视察，该航母的心理健康记录在海军11艘现役航母中名列前茅。
“我昨日在亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母上的经历令人振奋。我希望每个美国人都能看到船员们的工作状态。看到他们的情谊、团队协作和坚韧不拔，你会由衷感到自豪，”库珀在X平台的帖子中说道。“有一个重要事实：在美国海军11艘现役航母中，林肯号目前的心理健康相关病例数处于最低水平之列。”

库珀在《华尔街日报》的一篇专栏文章中补充道，许多涉及伙食和热水的指控都是数月前提出的旧问题，如今已由舰上领导层解决。
“近期的媒体报道对行动节奏、船员士气以及我们部署部队面临的实际情况给出了不同视角。但我在林肯号上发现，这些报道中的许多内容都是旧闻。我与初级入伍士兵和初级军官进行了小范围交谈。数月前提出的伙食、热水及其他问题均已由领导层解决，”他说道。
在中央司令部的声明中，库珀承认，尽管该舰心理健康病例数较低、舰上条件有所改善，但长时间海上部署仍可能充满挑战，因为不同水手对长期任务压力的反应各不相同。
“这并不意味着一切都完美无缺。你在美国各地近400万海军退伍军人中随便找一个，他们很可能都会告诉你，长期海上服役并不适合所有人。这极具挑战性且艰苦卓绝，包括我在内的每个人，应对压力的方式都各不相同，”他说道。

库珀称赞舰上领导层营造了支持船员韧性的文化，将心理健康与“身体健康和精神健康”置于同等重要的位置。
“我为林肯号的领导层点赞——尤其是首席军士长餐厅的高级入伍领导人——他们挺身而出，将心理健康和船员韧性列为领导层优先事项，”库珀说道。
“致舰上所有水手和海军陆战队员，继续保持出色工作，祝你们在返航途中一帆风顺。”

唐纳德·特朗普总统周五表示，林肯号航母很快将“被另一艘极为相似的舰艇替换”，该舰艇目前正前往中东地区。《华尔街日报》周四报道称，乔治·华盛顿号航母正从太平洋驶往该地区。
有关林肯号舰上条件的指控，源于多起投诉报道，包括伙食短缺、水质污染、厕所故障，以及连续数月未靠港后自杀意念激增等。

曾在阿富汗经历485天部署的肖恩·帕内尔周五抨击了媒体报道，称这些指控是歪曲事实。
“媒体对亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母的报道别有用心。将长期战斗部署中的合理挑战歪曲成虚假叙事，同时利用军属面临的真实困境博眼球，这是可耻的，”他在X平台的帖子中说道。

CENTCOM commander touts USS Abraham Lincoln mental health record after more than 260 days without port call
Commander Adm Brad Cooper said food, hot water and other concerns aboard the Lincoln were raised months ago have been resolved

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday said the USS Abraham Lincoln has recorded one of the lowest numbers of mental health cases in the Navy, amid mounting allegations of poor conditions aboard the carrier.
The Lincoln, which has been at sea for more than 260 days supporting the war with Iran, has been at the center of a dispute over allegations of supply shortages, plumbing problems and crew members threatening to jump overboard. Officials have repeatedly denied such claims and announced Friday that the carrier is expected to be replaced soon.
In a statement posted by CENTCOM, commander Adm. Brad Cooper touted the carrier’s mental health record among the Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers after reportedly visiting the ship over the weekend.
“My time aboard USS Abraham Lincoln yesterday was awe-inspiring. I wish every American could see the crew in action. You would beam with absolute pride when witnessing their camaraderie, teamwork and resilience,” Cooper said, according to the post on X. “Here’s an important fact: Of the U.S. Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers, the Lincoln currently has among the lowest number of cases related to mental health.”

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Cooper added that many of the allegations involving food and hot water were old concerns raised months ago that have since been addressed by the ship’s leadership.
“Recent media reporting has portrayed varying perspectives on operational tempo, crew morale and the realities facing our deployed forces. What I found aboard the Lincoln is that many elements of those stories are old news. I chatted with junior enlisted personnel and junior officers in small groups. Issues related to food, hot water and other concerns raised months ago were addressed by leadership and resolved,” he said.
In his CENTCOM statement, Cooper acknowledged that despite the ship’s low number of mental health cases and improved conditions, extended deployments at sea can still be challenging, as some sailors may respond differently than others to the demands of prolonged missions.
“This doesn’t mean that all is perfect. Find any of the nearly 4 million Navy veterans in America today and they will likely tell you that service at sea for long periods isn’t for everyone. It is uniquely challenging and tough, and every single one of us, including me, reacts to stressors in different ways,” he said.

Cooper credited the ship’s leadership with fostering a culture that supports crew resilience and gives mental health the same necessary attention as “physical health and spiritual health.”
“I applaud Lincoln’s leadership — the senior enlisted leaders in the Chief Petty Officers Mess in particular — for stepping up and making mental health and crew resilience a leadership priority,” Cooper said.
“To all our Sailors and Marines aboard the ship, keep up the great work and fair winds and following seas on the journey home.”

President Donald Trump said Friday that the Lincoln will soon be “replaced with another very similar ship,” which is currently en route to the Middle East. The WSJ reported Thursday that the USS George Washington is heading to the region from the Pacific.
Allegations about conditions aboard the Lincoln emerged following reports of numerous complaints, including food shortages, contaminated water, toilet problems, and a spike in suicidal ideation after months without a port call.

Sean Parnell, who said he experienced a 485-day deployment in Afghanistan, blasted the media reports Friday, calling the accusations twisted.
“The media treatment of the USS Abraham Lincoln is something different. Legitimate challenges of a long combat deployment are being twisted into a false narrative, while the genuine difficulties faced by military families are being used for headlines. That is shameful,” he said in a post on X.
