Initial build cost is $1.5 billion, but yeah, refurbishments are much less. Bottom line is the class of ship is a generation old for what it is. She was in port for some maintenance work anyway. My guess is that the Navy may not opt to repair the ship and they just move it to mothball with the intention of scrapping it and replacing it with a new America Class assault shio.

Which isn't ideal since the America class flight 0s aren't a real replacement for an LHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new redesigns are though. Starting with the third one (Flight 1) they have a well deck to launch amphibious operations. It's a really capable ship design, in my view. And at the end of the day, the loss of the BHR is just one fewer ship we have to invade Iran with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The stuff that's burning is probably incredibly bad. Don't breath it if you can't help it. Stay inside and use air conditioners if you have them. And now that we all have masks... definitely wear those. Absolutely wear those. They help against some particulates.

mclumber1 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 One of the most intense and draining times I had in the Navy was at the fire fighting simulator in San Diego. Simulator is a poor way to describe the facility, because that shit was literally on fire. It's was set up like a ship, and you had to descend multiple ladders wearing all of the fire fighting gear while carrying a hose. You can't see shit. And even with the thick suit on, you feel the heat bleeding through to your body. I had to fight the fire for maybe 10 minutes before I was relieved, but by the end, I was exhausted. On one hand, it's good that everyone got off the ship. On the other hand, it's complicated saving the ship. Because they can't really get crews onboard to fight the fire, it has probably done permanent damage and warped the hull. I'd be surprised if it ever sails again.

Only went out a few times to walk the dog, but couldn't smell it as strongly as last night. Are you still smelling it?

Jwheel86 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 New details emerge about the 2020 Bonhomme Richard fire, ahead of censure of three-star WWW.DEFENSENEWS.COM Retired Vice Adm. Rich Brown was named accountable for the loss of the amphibious ship Bonhomme Richard but was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing in December. Six months later, he's facing censure from the Navy secretary. tl;dr 3rd Fleet Commander investigates self and clears self in fire investigation, instead blames other Admiral who wasn't in charge.
