“林肯”号即将结束321天部署返航,获颁作战嘉奖,但人员福祉问题仍待解答我们当时说尚无定论的问题
尚未确认有任何机构接受请求、作出回应或确定明确的报告期限。每一位需要帮助的水兵是否都获得了帮助,仍未有定论。
尚无定论截至10月9日,各机构是否接受请求、是否作出回应以及报告期限,均未得到核实。报道仍未能确认每一位需要帮助的水兵是否都获得了帮助。
现在
航母于10月8日返抵母港,结束了近11个月的分离。舰长最新公布的8起自杀未遂事件细节,使有关水兵福利的疑问更加突出,而尚未确认独立审查人员会着手调查这些问题。
布伦特·莱德贝特第一次见到他十个月大的儿子内森,是在“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航母回家时。NBC新闻报道了这名水兵与妻子杰西卡和孩子重聚的场景。在此之前,孩子的人生一直没有父亲陪伴。父子相见时,几乎已经过去了整整一年。4
这艘航母于2026年10月8日停靠圣迭戈北岛海军航空站,结束了约5,000名水兵和海军陆战队员近11个月的离家部署。数千人前来迎接他们。这次归航结束了分离,但并未解答围绕航母打击群披露的8起自杀未遂事件,以及家属所述物资短缺和疲惫状况而产生的疑问。11
10月8日,HeyDay News报道称,当时航母仍未抵达,国防部长皮特·赫格塞思已向打击群颁发总统单位嘉奖,国会议员则在寻求独立的福利审查。目前,靠港消息已得到确认。此次披露的实质性新内容是舰长公布了具体情况:林肯号上发生5起自杀未遂事件,支援舰上发生3起。5 177
海军统计,最先离舰并与新生儿见面的水兵中有64位是父亲。舰长丹尼尔·J·基勒给出的范围更广,称包括航空联队在内共有122位新晋父亲。其他报道给出的数字为60或近60;这些统计范围不同的数字不应相加。7 9
关键事实
福利披露证实了什么
海军代理部长洪曹于9月22日在致参议员克尔斯滕·吉利布兰德的信中披露了这8起未遂事件;次日,这一披露进入公开报道。披露涉及整个打击群,而不仅是航母。基勒新公布的分类说明了事件发生地点,但两项说法都未能证明8起未遂事件涉及8名不同人员。海军官方领导层名单确认,舰长姓名为丹尼尔·J·基勒。193 26 5 192
基勒表示,林肯号上没有人自杀身亡,也没有人员伤亡。早前有关曹这封信的报道称,打击群中没有军人死于自杀。这些说法针对的范围不同,并不意味着没有人遭受严重伤害,也不意味着所有人都已康复。赫格塞思另称没有战斗伤亡,也没有飞机事故;这些说法描述的是作战结果,并不代表没有发生心理健康紧急状况。5 28 23
此前报道的细节提到两起不同的紧急事件。3月,水兵试图越过舷外,舰友及时制止;该水兵立即接受了照料,之后返回母港。8月初,一名航空联队水兵落水,随后由直升机救起,在舰上接受治疗后转送接受后续护理。8月的救援不应算作第9起未遂事件。其他6起未遂事件的具体情况及长期临床结果,仍未公开说明。78
亲属描述了食物和卫生用品短缺、饭菜配给、霉菌、长时间工作以及士气日益低落的情况。这些是据报的个人经历,并非全舰检查的结论。一名水兵的妻子向MS NOW转述了丈夫发来的短信:“我觉得这条船终于让我受不了了。”这是个人表达的痛苦,并非诊断。11 17 3
用餐次数和菜单选择可以同时得到准确描述,而无需就争议作出定论。每天有四个用餐时段,并不能证明饭菜分量充足、长时间轮班期间能够稳定获得食物,或卫生用品供应充足。选择减少本身并不能证明实行了配给。缺少的是对短缺持续时间、严重程度和分布情况的说明。
赫格塞思否认物资日渐短缺和士气低落的报道,同时承认补给并不容易。在10月7日访问期间,他为延长部署承担责任:“两次签署延长部署的命令的人是我”,接着说:“我认罪。”这些决定由高级领导层作出,而非舰员。15 23
部署时间很长,并非一直在海上
“林肯”号于2025年11月21日从圣迭戈出发,最初前往太平洋,预计春季返航。美国和以色列于2月底对伊朗发动战争后,该舰被改派至中东。打击群支援了“史诗怒火行动”的打击任务,随后在霍尔木兹海峡执行海上安全任务,并对进出伊朗港口的船只实施封锁。8月,“乔治·华盛顿”号接替了它。181 1 8 16
《卫报》10月8日的报道将此次部署时间列为321天;NPR于10月9日发布的报道则列为322天。经核实的出发和抵达日期相隔321个完整日;若出发和抵达日期都计入,则共计322个日历日期。这或许可以解释两者间显著的差异,但无法确认所有媒体采用的计算方式。两个数字都不代表全程一直在海上。11 7 177
关于未停靠港口的天数,各方说法尚未统一。10月8日,《卫报》援引国防部的数字称,连续264天未停靠港口,官方称这是现代海军史上的纪录;NBC新闻则称,未停靠港口的时间为286天。NPR于10月9日的报道称,连续未停靠港口的时间为265天。报道并未独立证实这项纪录适用于整个海军史。11 14 7
USNI指出,前一次停靠港口是在12月11日,但未能查到对那次停靠的完整描述。若这一日期是相关的起算日,那么到9月2日相隔265个完整日,两日期之间严格计算有264个日历日——这可能解释了计算差异,但并非经核实的计算惯例。《星条旗报》另称,全面访问港口前共286天,并连续在海上度过208天。《卫报》9月关于泰国的报道则称为270天。这些时长仍未能相互解释,也不能混为一谈。113 112 202
作战嘉奖不等于福利审查合格
10月7日颁发的总统单位嘉奖表彰了打击群,包括第9舰载航空联队及随行舰艇。NPR报道称,嘉奖理由列出3,693次作战任务、击沉64艘伊朗军舰、发射450枚“战斧”导弹、摧毁77架单向攻击无人机和21枚反舰巡航导弹,并防御了其他4艘艇。这些是官方对嘉奖事由的陈述,并非经过独立审计的结果。据称,支援舰是“战斧”导弹的发射平台;不应将所有发射次数都归于“林肯”号。16 9
作战总量也需要明确其统计范围。NPR于10月8日报道,嘉奖文件列出的弹药总量为1.37 million pounds;WRAL当天报道赫格塞思所称的数字为1.5-million-pound。两者统计范围的差异尚未厘清。ABC的返航报道提到,赫格塞思称出动架次为10,000;记者路易斯·马丁内斯则称飞行架次为13,000,其中包括约4,000次作战任务。这些数字彼此重叠,不能相加。16 18 9
退役陆军中将马克·赫特林在MS NOW表示,水兵表现出色并不能否定有关物资短缺的报道,领导者必须支持水兵及其家属。曾驾驶“林肯”号舰载机的马修·“威兹”·巴克利则称这次任务“取得了巨大成功”。两者都是评价,并非对照料情况的调查结论。3 20
独立审查仍在等待中
参议员鲁本·加列戈于10月7日致函,要求开展两项不同的审查。他要求国防部监察长普拉特·B·莫林三世审查部署计划、两次延长部署、物资短缺、补给、疲劳、领导层的应对以及心理健康服务的获取情况——包括是否有人寻求帮助却未能获得帮助。106
他还另行致函代理审计长奥里斯·W·布朗,要求政府问责局审查海军能否安全维持延长部署,涵盖后勤、维护、福利、战备和留任问题。他要求制定可衡量的标准,涉及部署时长、休息、港口停靠、预备力量、心理健康服务能力以及部署结束后的恢复。24
截至10月9日,尚无证据表明有机构接受了请求、作出实质性回应,或确定了报告的明确期限。这并不能证明请求遭到拒绝或毫无行动;这意味着相关状态尚未得到核实。基勒就生活质量举行的新闻发布会并非对独立审查请求的回应。CNN还报道称,预计该舰将在几个月后前往华盛顿州进行维护,但具体时间尚未核实。24 106 165 5
家属已经迎回了水兵。但领导层仍欠他们一份庆祝活动无法提供的交代:以证据为基础说明发生了什么、之后提供了什么照料,以及在另一批舰员面对同样要求之前会作出哪些改变。
播出原貌 40 行
- On October 8 we reported Lincoln's return was pending. The carrier has now docked. About 5,000 sailors and Marines are home after nearly eleven months away. The Navy disclosed eight suicide attempts across their strike group during the deployment.
- Will independent reviewers examine the decisions that kept them deployed, and whether sailors could get the supplies and care they needed?
- Thousands welcomed the crew at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego. The carrier arrived on October 8. Sailor Brent Ledbetter met his ten-month-old son Nathan for the first time, rejoining his wife Jessica.
- The Navy counted 64 fathers among the first sailors to leave and meet their babies. Captain Daniel J. Keeler counted 122 new dads when the air wing was included. Other accounts used 60 or nearly 60. Those counts cover different groups, so they can't be added together.
- Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao disclosed the eight attempts in a September 22 letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The disclosure became public the following day. At homecoming, Keeler gave a more precise breakdown of where the attempts happened.
- Keeler said five attempts happened aboard the Lincoln and three on support ships. He said there were no suicides or casualties aboard the carrier. Cao's earlier letter said no service members in the strike group had died by suicide.
- The strike group includes the carrier, its air wing, staffs and accompanying ships. The attempt count doesn't tell us how many different people were involved. And the command's statements about deaths don't tell families how everyone is recovering.
- Shipmates intervened during a sailor's crisis in March. That sailor received immediate care and returned to homeport. In early August, a different sailor was recovered from the sea by a search-and-rescue helicopter, treated aboard Lincoln and transferred for follow-up care.
- No life was lost in that rescue. The public details describe two separate emergencies, while the Navy's deployment-wide count remains eight attempts.
- Families described food shortages and rationed meals, along with shortages of hygiene products. They also described mold, long working hours, stress and worsening morale. Some said communication with loved ones was limited during the deployment.
- One sailor's wife relayed his text: “I think the boat is finally getting to me.” Navy leaders acknowledged that combat operations restricted opportunities to replenish supplies. Keeler said threats from Iran sometimes forced supply ships to change their movements.
- Cao said four nutritionally balanced meals were served daily. He also said meal options briefly fell from two to one. Keeler said sailors had access to four meals a day. Those statements describe both meal frequency and reduced choice.
- They leave open whether portions were adequate and whether sailors working long shifts could always get a meal. The duration and severity of the shortages families described still need examination.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accepted responsibility for extending the deployment twice during his October 7 visit. He told the crew, “I plead guilty.” He denied accounts of dwindling supplies and low morale, while acknowledging that resupply hadn't been easy.
- Senior leaders made those extension decisions. The crew had left San Diego on November 21, 2025, initially heading for the Pacific and expecting to return in the spring. Instead, the war with Iran redirected the carrier to the Middle East.
- The Lincoln supported flights and strikes inside Iran during Operation Epic Fury. It later helped secure or coordinate commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and enforced a blockade on traffic to Iranian ports. USS George Washington relieved it in August.
- The United States and Israel began the war in late February, with combat beginning February 28. The award citation describes 40 days of combat starting then. The subsequent blockade lasted months, extending the group's duties beyond that combat period.
- The departure and arrival dates are 321 elapsed days apart. Counting both dates gives 322 calendar dates. That offers a plausible explanation for the one-day difference in deployment totals, although it doesn't explain how every count was made.
- Recent typical carrier deployments have lasted about seven months. Lincoln's tour stretched close to eleven. Its journey home also included port visits in Thailand and Guam.
- After departing November 21, Lincoln reached Laem Chabang, Thailand, on September 2 and left September 6. It arrived at Apra Harbor, Guam, on September 19 for a logistics stop, before returning to San Diego on October 8.
- The Defense Department described 264 days without a port call as a modern naval-history record. Other totals put that stretch at 265 or 286 days. The port visits make clear that the full deployment included time ashore.
- The smaller difference may come from counting days around a previous December 11 stop. From that date to September 2 is 265 elapsed days, with 264 calendar days strictly between them. The exact counting convention hasn't been explained.
- The 286-day figure also matches an inclusive count from the original departure to Thailand. That measures the broader voyage. Thailand coverage separately used 270 days, or 208 consecutive days at sea, and distinguished a full port visit from other stops. Those measurements still haven't been reconciled.
- Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling argued that strong sailor performance doesn't erase concerns about food and other conditions. Former Lincoln pilot Matthew “Wiz” Buckley called the mission a “resounding success” and said there were no operational mishaps.
- Hertling urged Navy leaders to learn from the deployment and support sailors and families. Buckley's assessment concerned operational performance. Hegseth also said the group had no combat casualties or aircraft mishaps. The Navy separately disclosed the mental-health emergencies.
- Previously listed support aboard included five chaplains, a psychologist, a clinical social worker and three behavioral-health technicians. An embedded prevention counselor and a facility dog were also listed. Whether sailors could obtain timely, confidential care is still unresolved.
- Families' accounts and the attempt figures don't tell us what caused any individual's crisis. That requires a closer examination of the people affected and the care they received.
- Hegseth presented the Presidential Unit Citation on October 7 to the carrier strike group, including Carrier Air Wing 9 and accompanying ships. The citation credits 3,693 combat missions, 64 Iranian warships sunk and 450 Tomahawk missiles launched.
- Supporting ships were identified as Tomahawk launch platforms. The launch total belongs to the group. The award's combat figures are official claims, and they haven't been independently audited.
- The citation credits 1.37 million pounds of ordnance delivered. Hegseth separately cited 1.5 million pounds. Nobody has explained the scope difference between those totals, so adding them would inflate the group's weapons use.
- The citation also credits destruction of 77 one-way attack drones and 21 anti-ship cruise missiles. Those threats targeted Lincoln or other strike-group ships. It credits defense against four fast-attack craft or explosive-carrying vessels, without counting those four as additional sinkings.
- Hegseth cited 10,000 sorties, meaning flights, and 23,000 combat flight hours. A separate total put flights at 13,000, including about 4,000 combat missions. The citation's 3,693 combat missions rounds to nearly 3,700. The broader flight totals still need explanation.
- Hegseth described 160 hours of nonstop operations at the start of Epic Fury. Officials aboard described one 60-hour stretch. Those figures may cover different periods. They describe operational intensity, without providing a complete account of each sailor's workload.
- Senator Ruben Gallego asked for two independent reviews on October 7. His letters seek scrutiny of the decisions behind Lincoln's deployment and a broader examination of whether the Navy can safely sustain extended tours.
- Gallego asked the Defense Department inspector general to examine planning, both extensions, shortages, resupply and fatigue. He also asked reviewers to examine leadership responses and mental-health access, including whether a sailor who sought care failed to receive it.
- That letter went to Inspector General Platte B. Moring III. The separate Government Accountability Office request went to Acting Comptroller General Orice W. Brown. It covers logistics, maintenance, welfare, readiness and retention across extended deployments.
- Gallego sought standards for deployment length, rest, port-call frequency and logistics reserves, as well as mental-health capacity and post-deployment recovery. He asked for accountability where policies weren't followed or systems fell short. Lawmakers had also requested an inspector-general review on August 17.
- The carrier is expected to move to Washington state in a couple of months for repairs and maintenance. An exact schedule hasn't been announced. The Navy says lessons from this deployment will help prepare future crews, but hasn't supplied a measurable corrective plan.
- The sailors are home, but we still don't know whether everyone who needed help received it. That is among the questions Gallego wants independent reviewers to examine.
- As of October 9, the inspector general and Government Accountability Office haven't publicly confirmed accepting or opening those reviews. No firm response or report deadline has been confirmed.
