美国海军“哈里·S·杜鲁门”号航空母舰即将接受大规模的翻新改造，以使其能够继续在服役期内正常运行。
The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is slated to undergo a massive overhaul designed to prepare the hulking vessel for the second half of its service life.
五角大楼周二宣布，将与HII公司签订一份总金额为51亿美元的合同，由该公司在弗吉尼亚州的新港纽斯造船厂负责完成该航空母舰的翻新工作。
The Pentagon on Tuesday announced a $5.1 billion fixed-ceiling incentive contract with HII to complete the carrier’s mid-life overhaul at Virginia’s Newport News Shipbuilding.
根据相关公告，这次翻新改造（简称RCOH）涵盖了航空母舰在其整个服役期内所需进行的维护和现代化改造工作的约三分之一。
The refueling and complex overhaul, or RCOH, comprises approximately one-third of the maintenance and modernization a carrier will undergo during its service life, according to the announcement.
HII公司表示，此次改造工作将包括为舰上的核反应堆补充燃料，同时对数千个舱室、储罐以及大部分舰载系统进行大规模的现代化升级；推进系统和战斗系统也将得到全面升级。
The RCOH process on Truman will “include refueling the ship’s reactors, as well as extensive modernization work in thousands of compartments and tanks, as well as on most ship systems,” a HII release stated.
“杜鲁门”号的这次翻新工作是在其完成一次为期251天的部署任务后进行的。在那次部署中，该舰发射了超过110万磅的弹药，并执行了历史上规模最大的航母舰载机联合作战任务。
“In addition, major upgrades will be made in the propulsion plant and combat systems.”Truman’s overhaul notice comes a little over a year after the carrier completed a 251-day deployment that saw the vessel fire over 1.1 million pounds of ordnance and unleash the largest carrier-launched airstrike in history.
尽管“杜鲁门”号在战斗中表现出色，但其此次部署期间也发生了一系列事故，引发了多项调查。
Despite making combat history, the carrier’s deployment was also plagued by incidents that prompted an array of investigations. In February 2025, the ship collided with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M near Port Said, Egypt.
2025年2月，该舰在埃及塞得港附近与商船“贝西克塔斯-M”号相撞；随后，舰长戴夫·斯诺登因指挥能力受到质疑而被撤职。
The ship’s commanding officer Capt. Dave Snowden was subsequently relieved due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command. Truman also lost a trio of F/A-18 Super Hornets during the deployment.
在本次部署期间，“杜鲁门”号还损失了三架F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机：其中一架在友军交火中被“葛底斯堡”号导弹驱逐舰击落，另一架在着陆时发生故障坠入海中；第三架则是在执行躲避来袭弹道导弹的机动动作时从机库甲板上滑落，最终坠入红海。
One was shot down by the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg in a friendly-fire incident. Another experienced a failed arrested landing and went overboard. A third slipped off the hangar deck as a result of evasive maneuvers in response to an incoming ballistic missile and fell into the Red Sea.
“杜鲁门”号隶属于尼米兹级航空母舰系列，将是第八艘在弗吉尼亚州新港纽斯造船厂完成中期翻新改造的该级航空母舰。
Homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Truman will be the eighth Nimitz-class carrier to complete its mid-life RCOH in Newport News.
“我们的团队一直在努力工作，以推进这一关键的工程和建造项目，这将为哈里·S·杜鲁门号航母的服役后半程做好准备，”纽波特纽斯造船厂项目管理副总裁布莱恩·卡卡瓦莱在一份新闻稿中表示。“当该舰抵达纽波特纽斯造船厂时，我们将以同样的勤勉与我们的供应商和海军伙伴合作，确保CVN 75的现代化改装顺利完成。”该公告未说明航母的工程何时开始，但指出预计大修将于2031年11月完成。
“Our team has been diligently working to get ahead on this critical engineering and construction project that will prepare USS Harry S. Truman for the second half of her service life,” Bryan Caccavale, the Newport News Shipbuilding vice president of program management, said in a release. “When the ship arrives at NNS, we’ll apply that same diligence to working with our suppliers and Navy partners to ensure a successful recapitalization of CVN 75.”The announcement did not specify when work on the carrier would begin, but noted that the overhaul is expected to be completed by November 2031.
该合同包含额外选项，如果行使这些选项，其总价值可能接近52亿美元。
The contract includes additional options that, if applied, could bump its total value to closer to $5.2 billion.
