美国海军乔治·H·W·布什号航母打击群部署再延长：诺福克军人家庭说明会约500人参加，海军领导层称家属须为最长12个月部署作准备
美国弗吉尼亚州诺福克消息，美国海军高级将领本周在弗吉尼亚州诺福克海军基地的一场全体说明会上向近 500 名军人家庭成员确认，乔治·H·W·布什号航母（CVN 77）打击群不会在感恩节或圣诞节假期返回母港。据 11 月 12 日报道，这艘核动力航母及其数千名舰员自今年 3 月起部署于中东及周边海域，行动期已被第二次延长，领导层提醒家属为最长连续 12 个月的部署作准备。
说明会由代理海军部长洪曹与舰队部队司令部司令卡尔·托马斯上将主持。官员解释说，该地区持续的地缘政治紧张、包括涉及伊朗的海上威慑任务，使航母保持持续存在对国家安全至关重要。
该打击群于 2026 年 3 月 31 日搭载第 7 舰载机联队离开诺福克，原计划部署 7 个月。2026 年 9 月，五角大楼以地缘条件动荡与任务需要为由宣布首次延长。10 月在泰国作短暂靠港休整之前，该打击群已连续在海上航行 187 天未靠岸。
报道说，长期部署凸显美国海军 11 艘航母舰队的紧张：其他航母正经历漫长的船厂干船坞大修与维护期。海军领导层表示，布什号何时由接替打击群换防，取决于更广泛的外交进展，以及接替打击群完成部署前综合训练演习的时间表。据报道，在说明会的公开提问环节，一名舰员配偶说，家属先是被告知 7 个月、再是 8 个月，如今被告知要预期一年。
The USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group Deployment Is Extended Again: About 500 Family Members Attend the Norfolk Briefing, and Navy Leaders Say Families Should Prepare for Up to 12 Months Away
NORFOLK, Virginia, United States — Senior Navy leaders confirmed at an all hands town hall at Naval Station Norfolk this week to approximately 500 military family members that the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Carrier Strike Group will not return home for the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays, according to November 12 reporting. The nuclear powered supercarrier and its thousands of embarked sailors, deployed in the Middle East and surrounding waters since March, have had their operational tour extended for a second time, with leadership warning families to prepare for up to 12 continuous months away.
The briefing was led by Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao alongside Admiral Karl Thomas, Commander of United States Fleet Forces Command. Officials explained that lingering geopolitical tensions in the region, including persistent maritime deterrence mandates involving Iran, made the carrier's continuous presence essential to national security.
The strike group departed Naval Station Norfolk on March 31, 2026, with Carrier Air Wing 7 for a scheduled seven month deployment. In September 2026, the Pentagon announced the first deployment extension, citing volatile geopolitical conditions and mission requirements. Prior to a brief port liberty stop in Thailand in October, the strike group had spent 187 consecutive days underway at sea without touching land.
The prolonged deployment highlights the strain on the United States Navy's 11 ship aircraft carrier fleet, with other carriers undergoing lengthy shipyard dry dock overhauls and maintenance availabilities. Navy leadership indicated that operational criteria for relieving the George H.W. Bush depend heavily on broader diplomatic developments and the timeline for a relieving carrier strike group completing its pre deployment composite training unit exercises. During public questioning at the town hall, one sailor's spouse said families were told seven months, then eight months, and are now told to expect a year, the reporting said.
