美国海军宣布，来自亚太地区的乔治·华盛顿号航母已于周三抵达中东，接替在该地区长期部署的林肯号航母1。林肯号航母自去年11月离开圣迭戈母港，今年1月抵达中东，已连续部署近9个月1。
在这段部署期间，林肯号航母创造了超过250天连续不间断海上作战的纪录，期间舰上报告出现舰员心理健康问题和补给短缺1。国防部长Pete Hegseth表示林肯号舰上的条件"完全被歪曲了"1。美国中央司令部司令Brad Cooper访问林肯号后在《华尔街日报》撰文，向舰员致敬称"你们交出了时代杰作的战绩，现在你们要回家了"1。林肯号将返回美国，预计耗时超过一个月1。
The USS George Washington arrived in the Middle East on Wednesday to take over operational responsibilities from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been stationed in the region for an extended deployment 1. The Lincoln set a record by maintaining continuous maritime combat operations for over 250 days, a milestone achieved during a nearly nine-month deployment that began when the carrier left its San Diego homeport in November and arrived in the Middle East in January 1.
The relief deployment comes as the Lincoln faces documented challenges aboard the vessel. Reports have indicated crew mental health concerns and supply shortages during the extended mission 1. Upon the Lincoln's return to the United States, the journey is expected to take more than a month 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth characterized conditions aboard the Lincoln as being "completely distorted," suggesting public perceptions of the ship's situation were inaccurate 1. U.S. Central Command leader Brad Cooper visited the Lincoln and subsequently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the crew had "delivered a historic achievement in warfighting, and now you're going home" 1.
