In this video, you can see the large hospital setting with a huge ICU bay. It supports the marines when they fly in a place to get boots on the ground. A handy ship, not nuclear to my knowledge, but a necessary support. |

User ID: 69917668 United States 07/12/2020 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Heyyy EC :) Thank you, hope you are well too. :) Quoting: Tangy Is it hot enough for you? 100 degrees here, so I imagine you are a bit hotter. lol I'm waiting for a booze order from bevmo, then it's POOL TIME!! Yeah, I am interested how this happened, and what dangerous stuff lurks in the path of this fire. The boats seem to hardly be able to reach the fire. Yeah, it's pretty miserable out today. Almost 90 inside with multiple fans going. Sounds like you have the right idea! Regarding this fire - the first thing I thought of was the guy trying to ram the hospital ship with a train a few months back. I know that's not the case here, but at this point, I don't discount anything this year as being "too weird". I have a feeling there's more to this story than meets the eye. Well, I'm off again lol. Will try to hit up GLP a little more often than I have lately. Be safe Tangy, always nice to say hi and know you're doing well. Agreed! This year is beyond weird. lol Good to see you too! |

After fire boats knocked the fire down they retreated for a minute now concentrating on rear Yes the ship is a Marine aircraft carrier All the ospreys and helicopters may have been damaged Very bad news for this ship will take years to refurb |

While in San Diego, Bonhomme Richard is scheduled to receive flight deck upgrades to accommodate the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, the vertical takeoff and landing variant used by the Marine Corps, according to the Navy.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79041354 United States 07/12/2020 03:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know its major incident protocol but certainly a few ambulances turning up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47033834 Is the white coverings normal? Wonder if there was work going on? Yes normal when using a pneumatic nail gun [link to upload.wikimedia.org (secure)] to chip away/remove old paint and repaint. someone said it was a berthing compartment fire though, which I tend to believe since it looks like smoke is coming from port side amidships so exterior aft work is likely not the cause. Besides, when the navy works on a ship, it's usually all hands on deck and work is going on in most compartments simultaneously. I'll venture, the captain figured it was a good time to perform maintenance since probably reduced ops due to Covid and some internal berthing or other compartment was being worked on too and caught fire. |
