美国国防部长Pete Hegseth视察即将靠岸的USS Abraham Lincoln航母。该航母完成了中东部署任务，创造了美海军纪录，连续260多天未停靠港口1。航母编队搭载约5000名水兵和海军陆战队员，于2025年11月离开圣地亚哥1。2月底美以对伊朗开战后，该航母被重新部署至中东1。
部署期间暴露出多项问题。代理海军部长Hung Cao承认有8名Lincoln及其编队人员在部署期间企图自杀1。部队还报告出现食品和基本物资短缺1。面对这些困难，Hegseth为部署进行辩护，称其是"现代时代最具操作强度和后果的之一"1。民主党参议员Kirsten Gillibrand批评Hegseth的视察是"作秀"而非问责1。此前，特朗普曾表示这次部署"远未足够长"1。
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier as it prepared to return to port following an unprecedented deployment in the Middle East.1 The carrier completed a continuous 260-day stretch without docking at a port, setting a record for the U.S. Navy.1 The vessel carries approximately 5,000 sailors and Marines and departed San Diego in November 2024.1
The extended deployment followed U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran in late February, which prompted the carrier's redeployment to the Middle East.1 During its time at sea, the ship faced supply shortages affecting food and essential provisions.1 Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao acknowledged that eight personnel from the Lincoln and its task force attempted suicide during the deployment.1 Despite these challenges, Hegseth characterized the mission as "one of the most operationally intensive and consequential of the modern era."1
The deployment has drawn criticism from multiple quarters. President Trump previously stated the deployment was "nowhere near long enough,"1 while Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand dismissed Hegseth's visit as "theater" rather than genuine accountability.1 Hegseth defended the extended mission while pushback against media coverage regarding the deployment's difficulties.1
