9月3日，美国海军尼米兹级航母“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号停靠在泰国春武里府的林查班港休整，此前它在中东进行了长期部署。舰载人员和飞机停放在甲板上。
据美国官员透露，五角大楼正向波斯湾增派一艘航母和1万名水兵及陆战队员，此举将使美军指挥官在特朗普总统决定升级对伊朗攻击时拥有更多选项。
Personnel and aircraft on the deck of the U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln as it docks at Laem Chabang Port for a rest stop following a long deployment in the Middle East, in Chonburi province, Thailand, on Sept. 3. The Pentagon is deploying an additional aircraft carrier and 10,000 sailors and marines to the Persian Gulf, according to a U.S. official, a move that gives American commanders more options if President Donald Trump chooses to escalate attacks on Iran. The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier left its San Diego home port on Sunday and is headed to the Middle East, the official said.
该官员称，“西奥多·罗斯福”号航母周日离开圣地亚哥母港，前往中东。
When the Roosevelt arrives, the U.S. could again have three carrier strike groups in the region, the same number as in late April, although a decision on maintaining that level hasn’t been made, the official added.
该官员补充说，当“罗斯福”号抵达后，美国在该地区可能再次拥有三个航母打击群，数量与4月下旬相同，但尚未决定是否维持这一水平。
