In the USA, it was decided to write off and cut into metal the victim of the fire UDC Bonhomme Richard

The information that the US Navy still decided to abandon the restoration of the Bonhomme Richard ship was confirmed. It is a versatile Wasp-class amphibious assault ship that has been in service with the US Navy since the late 1990s. Significant damage to the ship was inflicted in July last year, when repairs were carried out on board in the home port of San Diego and a fire broke out along the way. The total number of those who received burns, smoke poisoning and bodily harm as a result of the emergency on board the Bonhomme Richard was 63 people - 23 civilians, the rest - naval sailors. 11 of the 14 compartments of the ship were damaged.

US Navy Regional Maintenance Center Commander Rear Admiral Eric Ver Hage:

We came to the conclusion that about 60% of the ship needs to be replaced completely. Only this would allow him to return to duty. But for this we need from 2,5 to 3,2 billion dollars and up to seven years of work. Of course, no one will go for it.

According to the rear admiral, it was in connection with this that the UDC Bonhomme Richard suffered from the fire and it was decided to withdraw from the fleet.

Eric Ver Hage:

The subsequent dismantling of the ship will cost about $ 30 million. And this dismantling work will take a maximum of a year. We decided to stick with this option.

Thus, after the decommissioning ceremony, which will take place on April 14, the ship is planned to be cut into metal.

US Navy spokesman Nicole Schwegman:

Currently, only a small part of the crew remains on board the USS Bonhomme Richard. The sailors will remain there until the ship is officially decommissioned. The rest of the crew has already been transferred to other duty stations.

Well repaired ... It would always be like that.

It would always be so.

It seems that in one small unfinished place in the Crimea region, they would find a use for it. ))

[Pereira]

Sold to China?

[knn54]

Before Pzhar, it underwent modernization and was able to receive the F-35. The cost of the work was about 250 million (!) Dollars.
Ends in the water?

And there is . It looks like schemes with bright faces work the same in all countries.))))

Hardly, rather just rotozy.
I remember that they somehow have one painter purposefully burned "Miami".
[b] [The fire on the afternoon of 23 May 2012 was caused by the civilian painter Casey Fury, who decided to leave work early that day. Fury was arrested and subsequently sentenced to 17 years in prison with a $ 400 million fine, and the fire had to be extinguished for 12 hours with the involvement of more than XNUMX firefighters. During the extinguishing, seven people were injured, including a firefighter who broke his ribs when falling into an open hatch.

By the way, the friend translated an English-language article in the comments and this is what it says about the reason: He took medication for depression and anxiety, told investigators that he lit a fire in order to leave work (not in the sense of quitting, but in the sense of going home :)) / b ]

Curious how many millions he has already paid out?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

250 million dollars for the US budget is nothing at all, the cost of 3 fighters.

This is a banal negligence, it happens in our country and not so rarely as we would like.

Only about the fire on the "Kuza" was howling up to heaven, and then I learn only on VO.

More often such "repair work" would be true, you see, and without the fleet the Yankees would have remained in time.

Do not stay .. They have enough capacity for 5 cruisers at the same time at one shipyard to build .. And money, of course ..

[Magic archer]

The squad will not notice the loss of a soldier ... Unfortunately

[Barberry25]

will notice, but pretend that this is how it should be

[Bradley]

How did they start the fire? Well, what happened? Did you drink with the girls, jump over the fire on a bet?

[Konstantin Gogolev]

How, how. They filled up corn and made an application to Guinness - that's the record for popcorn. Exceptional Nation - Exceptional Records.

Official version: welding.

[Bradley]

Official version: welding.

This means that the debris was with fuels and lubricants during welding. The welder is welded for life.

[APASUS]

With such a budget, repair work is not advisable ...............

[NF68]

I wish the Americans not to stop there.

[Alexander X]

More often and more. Only this can I wish the world gendarme.

By the way, in the worst China, the largest warship of national construction was launched.

Yushan - more than 10 tons, 000 meters, two 153-meter high-speed tank landing boats in the dock chamber, a hangar for 36 helicopters.

The speed is noteworthy - a new ship, a new project was laid down on June 10, 2020. We even build Rook longer ...

Other distinctive features include a strong composition of weapons - Melara + Phalangs in the base. 8 seats for assembling their national CD with a range of 400 km or anti-ship missiles. Two seats for RIM-116 - which will be purchased later.

Great job! To be able to record losses and to be timely in this plan!

[mu1972]

how lovely))

[tralflot1832]

Take me as a welder, well, an extreme case, a gas cutter! I will cut all the power of projection of democracy, in the person of AUG. I will not be ashamed! The US Navy, this cannot be taken away from them, a lot!

[SVD68]

And here we are arguing whether to build aircraft carriers or not. We need to open schools for welders in the United States! :)

[Olechca]

Half a year ago it was already known about this

[Evgenijus]

Interrogate Boshirov and Petrov. Or present it for a reward. Saved one Onyx ...

[Nikolai Redko]

An absolutely rational solution. It burned well, for a long time, it burned down a LOT. And what to suffer for three years with the repair, during the same time you can build a new one, if there is a need. But it seems to me that the peninsula's fleet is oversized in quantitative terms, so one vessel more / less - no tactical difference.
