原文:

 The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln successfully completed the largest planned incremental availability (PIA) on time to support mission tasking, while moored at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego during an unprecedented and historic pandemic.

 A PIA is critical to prolonging the life-span of a ship and maintaining material readiness. During this maintenance period, repairs and upgrades were completed that could not be accomplished while deployed and operational. ‘We expect these ships to last 50 years,’ said Capt. Walter Slaughter, commanding officer of Abraham Lincoln. ‘This kind of maintenance is critical to repair the wear and tear on the ship after a long deployment and also to upgrade and modernize our systems to bring them up to current standards.’

 Abraham Lincoln's PIA planning took approximately two years to piece together, resulting in an all-hands collaboration between the ship's crew, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) workers and multiple civilian contractors. The focus was on updating multiple systems, improving structural integrity and rehabilitating living quarters for the crew.

中譯:

 「林肯號」航空母艦於史無前例的疫情大流行期間,泊靠聖地牙哥北島海航基地,同時準時圓滿完成最大規模的計畫性妥善率提升案,俾支援分派之任務。

 計畫性妥善率提升案,對於船艦延壽與維持物資整備至關重要。在此維保期間,完成了執行部署及作戰任務期間所無法達成的維修與升級作業。該航艦指揮官史勞特上校表示:「我們預計這些艦艇能延用50年,此等維保對於修復本艦長期部署後的損耗至關重要,且還能將各系統進行升級及現代化作業,使之提升到當前各項標準。」

 「林肯號」的計畫性妥善率提升案計畫作為,耗時2年才組合成形,促成該艦官兵、普吉特灣海軍造船廠暨中繼維保廠員工,以及多家民間承包商之間的全員協作。本案置重點於更新多項系統、改善結構完整性,並翻新艦上官兵的生活區。(第1篇/共4篇)
