海军将USS Nimitz的退役推迟至2027年3月,以维持承运能力,直到新的John F. Kennedy加入舰队为止。 The Navy delays USS Nimitz's decommissioning to March 2027 to maintain carrier capacity until the new John F. Kennedy joins the fleet.

美国海军将USS Nimitz号航空母舰从2026年5月退役推迟至至少2027年3月,以便在等待下一个福特级航空母舰约翰·肯尼迪(John F. Kennedy)时保持承运人罢工小组的能力。 The U.S. Navy has delayed the decommissioning of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz from May 2026 to at least March 2027 to maintain carrier strike group capacity while awaiting the John F. Kennedy, the next Ford-class carrier. 海军最老的现役航空母舰尼米兹号最近完成了为期九个月的跨区域部署支援行动,共飞行8 500架次。 The Nimitz, the Navy’s oldest active carrier, recently completed a nine-month deployment supporting operations across multiple regions, flying 8,500 sorties. 它会把家门移到弗吉尼亚州的诺福克, 在停止活动之前 和反应堆卸燃料之前。 It will shift homeport to Norfolk, Virginia, before inactivation and reactor defueling. 这一延伸缩小了老化承运人和新船舶之间的差距,确保船队维持11艘承运人。 The extension bridges the gap between aging carriers and new ships, ensuring the fleet maintains 11 carriers. 尼米茨部队可能支持有限的培训任务,但不可能在行动上再次部署。 The Nimitz may support limited training missions but is unlikely to deploy operationally again.
