Navy Ship On FIRE!

Do you guys even go into these links to see if what posters are telling you is actually true?

USS Bonhomme Richard (1765)

Destroyed and disappeared in a Fire

I did.

Dunno how you would prove that though. And even if it was, unless you could prove it was a state actor (not called Russia or the PRC), then it's just a few more cruise missiles hitting trucks in the Syrian desert.

Excerpt

Battle of Flamborough Head

... The commander of Serapis finally called on Jones to surrender. He replied, "Sir, I have not yet begun to fight!" Jones eventually managed to lash the ships together, nullifying his opponent's greater maneuverability and allowing him to take advantage of the larger size and considerably more numerous crew of Bonhomme Richard. An attempt by the Americans to board Serapis was repulsed, as was an attempt by the British to board Bonhomme Richard. Finally, after another of Jones's ships joined the fight, the British captain was forced to surrender at about 10:30 p.m. Bonhomme Richard – shattered, on fire, leaking badly – defied all efforts to save her and sank about 36 hours later at 11:00 a.m. on 25 September 1779. Jones sailed the captured Serapis to the Dutch United Provinces for repairs.

Though Bonhomme Richard sank after the battle, the battle's outcome was one of the factors that convinced the French crown to back the colonies in their fight to become independent of British authority.


Search for the wreck

Bonhomme Richard's final resting location was the subject of much speculation. A number of unsuccessful efforts had been conducted to locate the wreck. The location was presumed to be in approximately 180 feet (55 m) of water off Flamborough Head, Yorkshire, a headland near where her final battle took place. The quantity of other wrecks in the area and a century of fishing trawler operations had complicated all searches.

After 250 years a same ship with name could share same destiny; maybe cursed.

Hey stranger. Haven't been on GLP much, a lot has changed this year, though I'm sure that's true for everyone. Wishing you well!

As for the topic at hand...I woke up to this story this morning. Definitely a curious one, interested to see what actually caused the fire.

:red alert:

Yeah, cuz the military doesn’t have to follow any national safety regulations.

Named after one of John Paul Jones ships during the American Revolution

Wow

I pray this is not sabotage.
