一名美国官员周四向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，美国亚伯拉罕·林肯号航母已离开中东，其船员和海军陆战队队员在执行了9个月的部署任务后正启程回国。
另一位驻扎在日本的美国航母——乔治·华盛顿号已抵达中东，以接替林肯号航母。家属们对舰上日益恶化的心理健康状况、卫生条件以及食品短缺问题表达了担忧。
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。今年2月爆发的对伊朗战争延长了此次部署任务，并加剧了他们的工作负担。该舰已成为执行数千架次空袭支援任务的起飞基点。
据《军事时报》和《星条旗报》报道，家属们的担忧在国会山引发了警觉。美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟和特朗普总统试图对这些担忧不予理会，特朗普称该舰的部署时间并不算长。代理海军部长洪曹则表示，媒体对舰上状况的报道“不属实”。
美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀上将试图通过周末访问亚伯拉罕·林肯号来回应相关投诉。库珀表示，海上部署“极具挑战性和艰苦性，我们每个人，包括我自己，应对压力的方式各不相同。”
“我一直认为，心理健康是个人健康的另一个方面，需要像关注身体健康和精神健康一样给予重视，”库珀说道，尽管他并未证实存在任何具体问题。
美国海军称，未收到舰上自杀未遂或自杀意念报告数量增加的消息。海军表示，他们正在调查8月3日一名水手落水后被救起的事件。
杰斐逊·凯利的儿子杰克逊正在林肯号上执行首次部署任务，他急切盼望儿子归来。
“作为一名家长，我满脑子想的就是希望能陪在孩子身边，想为他们挺身而出，”凯利上周对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻说道。“如果能把他带回家，和他的母亲、兄弟姐妹以及家人团聚，我今晚就能搭飞机或直升机奔赴林肯号所在的海域。”
这艘航母预计需要大约三周时间才能返回圣迭戈。

USS Abraham Lincoln leaves Middle East after 9-month deployment
August 20, 2026 / 7:56 PM EDT / CBS News
The USS Abraham Lincoln has left the Middle East, and its sailors and Marines are heading back home after their nine-month deployment, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News on Thursday.
The Japan-based USS George Washington, another U.S. aircraft carrier, has arrived in the Middle East to replace the USS Lincoln. Family members have voiced worries about deteriorating mental health conditions aboard the ship, as well as sanitary conditions and food shortages.
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’ concerns, as articulated in the Military Times and Stars and Stripes, have raised alarm bells on Capitol Hill. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump sought to dismiss those concerns, with Mr. Trump saying the ship hadn’t been deployed long enough. Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao said media coverage of the conditions has been “dishonest.”
U.S. Central Command Adm. Brad Cooper tried to address complaints by visiting the USS Abraham Lincoln over the weekend. Cooper said deployment at sea is “uniquely challenging and tough, and every single one of us, including me, reacts to stressors in different ways.”
“I’ve long believed that mental health is another aspect of individual health and requires our attention just like physical health and spiritual health,” Cooper said, although he didn’t confirm any specific issues.
The Navy said it hasn’t seen an increase in reported suicide attempts or suicidal ideation on board. It is investigating an Aug. 3 incident in which a sailor fell overboard and was recovered, the Navy said.
Jefferson Kelley, whose son Jackson is aboard the Lincoln on his first deployment, was eager for his son’s return.
“What’s going through my mind as a parent is that need to want to be there, to want to be there for your child,” Kelley told CBS News last week. “I 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.”
The carrier ship may take roughly three weeks to return to San Diego.
