    USS Bonhomme Richard, Amphibious Assault Ship, on fire with explosions reported

    How much did you actually read about where the arsonist started the fire, how the fire progressed on the ship, and why it was so hard to fight compared to what it should have been? Because unlike with that accidental nuke transport, this was very much an intentional act, and the arsonist lit...

    USS Bonhomme Richard, Amphibious Assault Ship, on fire with explosions reported

    They are actually set to retire 7 of the oldest Tico's, just to free up logistics capacity and spread the crews to other ships to deal undercrewing issues.

    As they should. But the note about the other fires on San Diego based ships...coincidence, or do we have a issue with firebug sailor(s) out of there?

    USS Bonhomme Richard, Amphibious Assault Ship, on fire with explosions reported

    As so far no lives have been lost to the fires, only equipment destroyed, we may be able to restrain it to a few punitive strikes against their vessels, or santion the living fuck out of them till the damage is paid for. There must be a price extracted for this, if there was a foreign actor...

    Yeah, this could be bad, depending on the motive, and if any of the other recent fires on ships are not accidents... If this ends up linked to a foreign actor...well, anyone who thinks we won't go to war over actions against our warships hasn't read American history.

    What happened with France? I know the CdG went in for refitted, but not anything beyond that.

    There was also just a fire on the JFK as it was being worked on. https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/newport-news/fire-extinguished-on-uss-john-f-kennedy-aircraft-carrier-in-newport-news/ Add this to the small fire on the LHD-3 that caused a 'hot work' stoppage, and this is starting to look...

    Was the keel warped, or only frames? That will likely determine whether they are willing to repair/rebuild her.

    USS Bonhomme Richard, Amphibious Assault Ship, on fire with explosions reported

    I think it comes down to how much structural damage is found once the flames are gone. If the heat has warped structural frames and internals too much, there may be no real way to repair that without effectively building a whole new ship as is. Hopefully it can be repaired, but I'd guess...

    So yeah, BHR may be a total loss after this, if it's gotten hot enough to compromise the metal like that.
