又出事故 美军一驱逐舰被曝曾失去动力
According to disclosures from the United States on the 17th, the USS Benfold experienced a malfunction and lost power while on a mission at sea in July, subsequently being towed to the Philippines for repairs.
Reports indicate that U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet spokesperson Matt Comer stated that on July 24, the generator of the USS Benfold experienced an "engineering failure," resulting in the ship losing power, though no personnel injuries were reported. On July 28, the USS Benfold was towed to Subic Bay in the Philippines, and two days later, power was restored, with all repair work completed by August 7. During the days without power, basic living facilities such as toilets on the USS Benfold were inoperable, and drinking water was also "affected." At that time, the ship was following the USS George Washington carrier strike group, and the USS Robert Smalls, part of the strike group, provided meals for the USS Benfold.
The USS Benfold departed Subic Bay on August 8 and arrived at Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on August 13. On August 17, the USS Benfold left Japan, and it remains unclear whether the ship will head to the Middle East to join the USS Washington carrier strike group.
Additionally, according to U.S. sources, the Navy has not yet responded to inquiries regarding why the incident of the USS Benfold losing power was only disclosed recently. Reports indicate that this incident represents another "setback" for the U.S. Navy, which has already faced "considerable pressure" in its military operations in Latin America and the Middle East, forcing U.S. military commanders to extend the deployment of certain vessels.
