The USS Lincoln belongs to the US Navy's Nimitz class aircraft carrier, with a full displacement of approximately 100000 tons. It can carry carrier based aircraft such as E-2D, F/A-18E/F, and more than 70 aircraft, typically including 4 attack fighter squadrons, 1 early warning aircraft squadron, 1 electronic warfare aircraft squadron, 1 logistics support squadron, and 2 helicopter squadrons.
This is the second fire that occurred on the USS Lincoln after it caught fire last year. On November 29th of last year, the USS Lincoln caught fire and six crew members on board were injured and receiving treatment.
In recent years, the most serious fire accident in the US Navy occurred in 2020. In July of that year, the amphibious assault ship "Good Man Richard" caught fire, with 115 crew members on board, nearly 60 of whom received treatment due to high temperature collapse, inhalation of thick smoke, or minor injuries. In November of that year, the US Navy announced that the USS Richard Goodman would be scrapped due to severe damage that could not be repaired. The US military estimates that repairs may require over $3 billion. In August 2021, sailor Ryan Metz was charged with serious arson and intentional harm to ships, and 17 people, including the captain, were found directly responsible.
