华盛顿讯——据美国官员透露，本周早些时候，“希金斯”号导弹驱逐舰发生重大火灾。该舰是美军在印度-太平洋前沿部署的主力舰艇之一。
其中一名不愿具名的官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网透露，此次火灾导致该驱逐舰电力和推进系统失灵，该官员因未获公开发言授权而要求匿名。
截至周三，尚无美军官兵受伤的报告。
火灾起因以及“希金斯”号在美国印度洋-太平洋司令部责任区内的确切位置尚未明确。
关于该舰受损区域以及维修所需时长的相关细节也未对外披露。
根据船舶自动识别系统（AIS）的海事数据，“希金斯”号今年2月时停靠在新加坡港。
五角大楼发言人将有关舰艇受损情况的问询转交至印度洋-太平洋司令部。该驱逐舰的公共事务部门也未立即置评。
据美国海军学会报道，本月早些时候，“德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔”号航空母舰曾发生小规模火灾，造成8名海军水手受伤。此外，“杰拉尔德·R·福特”号航空母舰的洗衣舱也曾发生火灾，导致2名水手受伤。
一名美国官员周三向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网证实，“福特”号及其伴随打击群预计将于未来几天离开中东地区。“福特”号是当时在该地区部署的三艘航母之一。
“希金斯”号母港位于日本横须贺，隶属于美国海军第七舰队前沿部署部队，是负责全球过半区域军事行动的美国印度洋-太平洋司令部的核心力量之一。
该舰以海军陆战队上校威廉·希金斯命名。希金斯是越南战争老兵，1988年2月在黎巴嫩南部执行联合国维和任务时，被与真主党有关联的武装分子绑架。他遭受酷刑、审讯后遭杀害，在被囚禁期间被追授至当前军衔。1991年12月，希金斯的遗体在贝鲁特一条街道被发现。

Washington — A major fire broke out earlier this week on the USS Higgins, a guided-missile destroyer and a mainstay of the Navy’s forward presence in Asia, according to U.S. officials.
The fire knocked out electricity and propulsion on the destroyer, one of the officials told CBS News, speaking under condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
No injuries to U.S. service members had been reported as of Wednesday.
Details of how the fire started and the exact location of the Higgins in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) were not readily available.
Details regarding what sections of the ship were damaged and how long it will take to repair were also not available.
The Higgins was ported in Singapore as of February, according to AIS Marine vessel data.
Pentagon spokespeople referred questions about damage to INDOPACOM. The destroyer’s public affairs didn’t immediately comment.
Earlier this month, a small fire broke out on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, injuring eight U.S. Navy sailors, the U.S. Naval Institute reported. Separately, a fire broke out in the laundry spaces aboard the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, injuring two sailors.
The Ford and its accompanying strike group are expected to leave the Middle East in the coming days, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday. The Ford was one of three carriers operating in the region.
The Higgins, homeported in Yokosuka, Japan, is part of the Navy’s forward deployed forces assigned to the 7th Fleet — a key component of the United States Indo-Pacific Command, which oversees American military operations across more than half the globe.
The ship is named after Marine Col. William Higgins, a veteran of the Vietnam war, who was part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon when he was kidnapped in Feb. 1988 by Hezbollah-linked militants. Higgins was tortured, interrogated and then was murdered. He was promoted to his current rank while in captivity. Higgins’ remains were found on a Beirut street in Dec. 1991.
