美国海军乔治·华盛顿号航母于周三抵达中东，接任亚伯拉罕·林肯号的部署任务1。林肯号在中东海域连续部署超过250天后，已于周四启程返回圣地亚哥1。
林肯号上的5000名水兵和海战队员在部署期间面临严峻的生活条件1。船上报告显示存在食物和水短缺、邮件服务中断、管道问题等困境，同时士气下降和心理健康状况恶化也引发了担忧1。一名水兵妻子向《卫报》表示："我认为他们不是把我们当人对待。我认为他们把我们当制服对待，像棋盘上的棋子"1。这些报道引起民主党议员的关注，他们已要求五角大楼对此做出回应1。
The USS George Washington arrived in the Middle East on Wednesday to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has faced significant scrutiny over deteriorating living conditions aboard the vessel 1. The Lincoln, which began its return voyage to San Diego on Thursday, had been continuously deployed in the region for more than 250 days 1.
The roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard the Lincoln endured severe shortages of food and water, disrupted mail service, plumbing failures, and declining morale 1. A sailor's wife told the Guardian: "I don't think they treat us like human beings. I think they treat us like uniforms, like chess pieces on a chessboard" 1. These conditions prompted Democratic lawmakers to demand answers from the Pentagon regarding the operational pressures affecting crew welfare 1.
