As reported by CNN in the early hours of March 19, 2026, the USS Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier of the US Navy, engaged in operations against Iran, has withdrawn from military engagement following a "laundry room fire." The vessel is now en route from the Red Sea to the military port at Crete, Greece, in the Mediterranean Sea for necessary repairs. Per announcements from the US military, the severe "laundry room fire" occurred last week and raged for over 30 hours before being brought under control. The blaze penetrated three deck levels, resulted in approximately 200 sailors receiving medical attention for smoke inhalation, and consumed hundreds of bunks, displacing more than 600 service members from their sleeping quarters.
据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）2026年3月19日凌晨报道，参与对伊朗军事行动的美军杰拉尔德·R·福特号航空母舰因发生“洗衣房火灾”而退出作战行动。该舰正从红海驶往地中海希腊克里特岛的军用港口进行必要维修。据美军方发布的消息，这起严重的“洗衣房火灾”发生在上周，大火燃烧了30多个小时才被扑灭。火灾烧穿了三层甲板，导致约200名水兵因吸入烟雾接受治疗，并烧毁数百张床位，导致600多名官兵无法在原有铺位休息。
Costing around billion to construct, the USS Gerald R. Ford is the highest-priced ship in the history of the US Navy and simultaneously the largest aircraft carrier. The vessel features a multitude of cutting-edge technologies, chiefly comprising two nuclear reactors, integrated electric propulsion, and electromagnetic aircraft launch systems. The American military regards this carrier as the mainstay of its naval striking power in the 21st century
杰拉尔德·R·福特号造价约130亿美元，是美国海军史上最贵的舰船，也是最大的航母。该舰采用众多前沿技术，主要包括两个核反应堆、综合电力推进和电磁弹射系统。美军将这艘航母视为21世纪海军打击力量的中坚。
Prior to the commencement of hostilities against Iran, during the phase of military coercion, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier suffered an astonishing mechanical failure. During its voyage to the Middle East in late February 2026 for the purpose of exerting military pressure on Iran, the vessel had to make an unscheduled port call in Greece owing to extensive toilet blockages. Of the 650 lavatories aboard, 600 were rendered inoperative, causing wait times of approximately one hour for the vessel's complement of over 4,600 personnel each time they sought to use restroom facilities. This situation represented what may be termed the most severe collective sanitary crisis in US naval history. Media sources have speculated that personnel deliberately obstructed the toilets as a means of expressing opposition to the military deployment.
在对伊朗开战前的军事施压阶段，杰拉尔德·R·福特号航母就发生过一次匪夷所思的机械故障。2026年2月下旬，该舰在驶往中东向伊朗施压的途中，因大面积厕所堵塞而被迫临时停靠希腊港口。舰上650个马桶中有600个无法使用，导致全舰4600多名官兵每次上厕所都要排队近一个小时。这种情况堪称美国海军史上最严重的集体如厕危机。有媒体猜测，可能是舰上人员故意堵塞厕所，以此表达对此次军事部署的反对。
The March 2026 "laundry room fire" has aroused skepticism among both media commentators and military analysts. The blaze, which endured for more than 30 hours, penetrated three deck levels of this aircraft carrier and ultimately forced the withdrawal of the US Navy's most formidable warship from combat operations. Analysts theorize that this fire could potentially have been an act of arson, and that there may have been deliberate slowness or negligence in suppression efforts, reflecting an unspoken protest by the naval personnel
2026年3月的这起“洗衣房火灾”也引发了媒体评论员和军事分析人士的质疑。这场持续30多个小时的大火烧穿了航母三层甲板，最终迫使美国海军这艘最强大的战舰退出作战行动。分析人士推测，这场火灾可能是有人故意纵火，且灭火过程中可能存在故意拖延或懈怠，是舰上人员一种无声的抗议。
Media analysis indicates that extended overseas deployment and the recent high-intensity combat demands have inflicted substantial negative impacts upon the morale of service members. Personnel have been forced to miss the funerals of beloved family members, weddings have required unavoidable postponement, and many have endured prolonged separation from their young children. Most critically, statistical evidence reveals that the spousal infidelity rate during extended military deployments reaches 22%, representing a figure significantly higher than that observed among the general American population. Various media analysts have suggested that disgruntled service members might deliberately sabotage shipboard systems to force this aircraft carrier's withdrawal from military operations and consequently expedite the termination of their deployment.
媒体分析认为，长期的海外部署和近期高强度的作战任务对官兵士气造成了严重的负面影响。有人错过了亲人的葬礼，有人婚礼被迫推迟，许多人不得不长期与年幼的孩子分离。最关键的是，有统计数据显示，长期部署期间美军人员的配偶出轨率高达22%，远超美国普通民众的配偶出轨率。多位媒体分析人士指出，一些心怀不满的官兵可能会故意破坏舰上设施，以此迫使这艘航母退出作战行动，从而提前结束部署。
