| Here's what the damage inside the Bonhomme Richard looks like |
| 2020-07-19 |
| [Navy Times] Photos have emerged online this week of the charred insides of the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard, which burned for more than four days this week. A Navy official confirmed the authenticity of the images. The collection below was gathered and posted on Twitter by @Osinttechnical. The fire was called away at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday said Friday that officials thought the blaze was under control as of Sunday evening, but that wind and explosions forced a retreat of fire crews. Whether the ship will sail again remains unclear. Pictures and a video at link |

| #3 Newest articicial reef? Pump out the remining gas and oil and tow her out to sea. Maybe get a little live fire practice in as well. (No, the OTHER kind of live fire) |

| #1 Looks like a total loss to my untrained eye. Even if it were fixed, nobody would want to sail on her. |
