French submarine burns in ‘unbelievably fierce fire’ for 14 hours
The fire broke out at 10:35 a.m. local time at the front of the submarine, which was in basin No. 3 in the Missiessy zone of the port. Workmen first noticed smoke on the lower deck.

Well hopefully no robot will show up to my house playing a message from a girl with a cinnibun hairstyle saying " Help us Sailor.X you are our only hope!!!"
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.
Wow that is nuts.

You know I was hoping it was the yard screwing up since they could actually pay for the damage. A idiotic sailor doesn't have anywhere remotely enough assets to pay for the amount of damage that has occurred.
If it is a foreign action then Heaven have mercy on the group that did it. Because the US Navy will not.

I hope its not a foreign actor another war is the last thing America needs right now
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 involved.

Sure, but given what happened to the USS Miami it’s also quite possible the guy came up with the idea on his own for one dumb reason or another.

The Army will bring hell woth it as well. Mess with one of us you get all of us
Rest in Peace USS Bonhomme Richard LHD-6 (1998-2021).
It was apparently a private decommissioning ceremony and the ship will be towed to a dismantling facility on the Texas coast for about thirty million dollars.
It was estimated the cost of repairs of the vessel would've been around $2.5 billion dollars conversely.

Let us hope that she won't be the last ship to bear the name.

Yeah, and the price tag is about 2/3 that of a new America-class...might as well just add one more to the order at that point and christen her the best BHR.
And I do think we'll see another Bonhomme Richard, given the history of the name.
They were definently looking into it and didn't want to accuse the wrong sailor
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?
