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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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:
