US Navy Investigates Working Conditions on Aircraft Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Navy's warship George Washington will be deployed to the Middle East after nine months of deployment, replacing the Lincoln, which has been deployed to the area. However, this decision is related to a personnel situation report on the aircraft carrier.

Due to humanitarian concerns, the Wall Street Journal does not wish to disclose the names of personnel on the aircraft carrier. However, the report states that the U.S. Navy department is investigating the working conditions on the Lincoln aircraft carrier, including food, healthcare, and living quarters. The report also notes that personnel on the Lincoln, including officers, are dissatisfied with the working conditions and have demanded that the U.S. Navy department improve them.

The Wall Street Journal reported in January that the U.S. Navy department conducted multiple investigations on the Lincoln aircraft carrier from 2019 to 2022, finding issues including poor food, inadequate healthcare, and unsuitable living quarters, which affected the personnel's work efficiency and physical health.

Responding to reporter inquiries, the U.S. Navy department stated that they are actively addressing the personnel situation issues on the Lincoln and expressed that they are reviewing and improving the working conditions, including food, healthcare, and living quarters. Simultaneously, the U.S. Navy department also stated that they are cooperating with the Wall Street Journal to investigate these issues.

The impact of this incident on the U.S. Navy has yet to be clear, but the U.S. Navy department has committed to actively addressing the personnel situation issues on the Lincoln to ensure personnel work efficiency and physical health.

For Taiwan, this incident has no direct impact, but Taiwan can learn from the U.S. Navy's practical approach to improving personnel working conditions, increasing personnel work efficiency and physical health.
