Another aircraft carrier is grappling with water issues

The Navy is investigating what caused the drinking water aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln to become rank and cloudy last month.

It is at least the second instance of fouled drinking water on a U.S. carrier in recent weeks.

“An odor and cloudiness” were detected in Lincoln’s water Sept. 21 while the ship was underway conducting carrier qualifications and other tasks in the Pacific Ocean, according to Naval Air Forces spokesman Cmdr. Zachary Harrell.

“The three affected potable water tanks were immediately isolated and secured from the potable water system,” Harrell said in an email Wednesday to Navy Times.

The odor and cloudiness in the water abated by the next day, he said.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I spent a lot of days at sea on a carrier and my recollection is water problems are just a way of life on them. :pondering:
