美國航母延長任務期間發生8起自殺未遂事件
華盛頓，9月24日（路透社）——五角大廈在書面答覆一名議員提問時表示，美國海軍亞伯拉罕・林肯號航空母艦打擊群連續286天延長海上部署期間，艦上美國海軍官兵發生8起自殺未遂事件。WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - There were eight suicide attempts among US sailors on board the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group during its extended 286 consecutive-day deployment at sea, the Pentagon told a lawmaker in a written response to questions.
搭載約5,000名人員的核動力航空母艦林肯號，曾參與美國在對伊朗戰爭中的海上封鎖與作戰行動；民主黨籍國會議員表示，該艦創下現代連續海上部署天數紀錄。這個打擊群由航母本身和其他數艘軍艦組成。The nuclear-powered Lincoln, with roughly 5,000 personnel, was involved in the US naval blockade and combat operations in the war with Iran and — according to Democratic lawmakers — set a modern-day record for consecutive days at sea. The strike group consists of the carrier itself and several other warships.
美國海軍代理部長高宏（Hung Cao）在9月22日致美國民主黨籍參議員陸天娜（Kirsten Gillibrand）的信中表示，雖然部署期間沒有人自殺身亡，但航空母艦及其隨行艦艇上共發生8起自殺未遂事件。In a letter to US Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand dated September 22, Acting US Navy Secretary Hung Cao said that while there were no suicides during the deployments, there were a total of eight attempts on board the aircraft carrier and its accompanying vessels.
目前不清楚有多少人涉及這些自殺未遂事件。It was unclear how many individuals carried out the attempts.
參議院軍事委員會成員陸天娜表示：「本屆政府可以找到源源不絕的納稅人經費，用於炸彈、舞廳和億萬富豪，卻無法照顧我們的軍人，這完全無法接受。」"That this administration can find endless taxpayer dollars for bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires, but cannot take care of our service members, is completely unacceptable," said Gillibrand, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
本月稍早，亞伯拉罕・林肯號及部分支援艦艇在去年11月部署後，歷經286天海上航行，抵達泰國東部港口。Earlier this month the Abraham Lincoln and some of its supporting ships arrived at port in eastern Thailand after 286 days at sea, after having been deployed last November.
海軍部署通常為6至9個月，但在衝突期間可能延長。長期部署造成的心理健康問題，長久以來一直困擾美國海軍。Typically naval deployments are for between six and nine months but can be extended during times of conflict. Mental health issues on long deployments have long plagued the US Navy.
