在完成长达六个月的支持美国针对伊朗军事行动及中东海上封锁的部署后,一个多月内第二艘美国航空母舰抵达泰国。
A second US aircraft carrier has arrived in Thailand in just over a month after completing a six-month deployment supporting US military operations against Iran and a naval blockade in the Middle East.
泰国政府公共关系部门周一表示,核动力“乔治·H·W·布什”号航空母舰停泊在普吉深水港外约1.78海里(3.3公里)处。
The nuclear-powered USS George HW Bush is anchored around 1.78 nautical miles (3.3 kilometers) off Phuket Deep Sea Port, the Thai government’s Public Relations Department said Monday.
来自该航母及随行舰艇的5100多名美国海军官兵将在普吉岛进行岸上休假,直至周五。
Over 5,100 US Navy personnel from the carrier and accompanying vessels will spend shore leave in Phuket through Friday.
根据政府声明,水兵们获准在省内游览,但禁止驾驶摩托车或作为乘客乘坐摩托车。
The sailors are permitted to travel around the province but are prohibited from driving or riding as passengers on motorcycles, according to the government statement.
美国海军表示,“乔治·H·W·布什”号航母打击群在进入美国第七舰队辖区之前,过去六个月一直在支持“史诗之怒行动”(美国针对伊朗的军事行动)并执行美国在中东的海上封锁。这是该航母自3月离开美国以来的首次港口访问。
The US Navy said the George HW Bush Carrier Strike Group had spent the previous six months supporting Operation Epic Fury — the US military operation against Iran — and enforcing the US naval blockade in the Middle East before moving into the US 7th Fleet area. Phuket is its first port visit since leaving the US in March.
此次访问距离“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号航母在美军中央司令部辖区(包括针对伊朗的战斗行动和执行海上封锁)进行近七个月的行动后抵达泰国林查班港大约一个月。
The visit comes about a month after the USS Abraham Lincoln arrived at Thailand’s Laem Chabang port following nearly seven months of operations in the US Central Command area, including combat operations against Iran and enforcement of the naval blockade.
