How many muzzy dimocraps on board? Stupid post. The only ones onboard are sailors and maybe some marines. I spent 25 years in the USN and was on 2 ships that had fires and one that had a boiler explosion. This is a very dangerous situation and has nothing to do with politics. This post makes you look really foolish. So, they only let muzzies in the army, right? Sheesh. Talk about stupid.  You know something? You're an idiot. What proof do you have that a "muzzy" was involved? I'm going to bet that you have never been in the military in any branch. You're one of those ignorant fools that talk tough but deep down, you're a pussy. On the ignore list you go. Reading isnt your strong suit pal. I simply ASKED A FUGHKING QUESTION. Maybe go back and read it again.

Well, that settles it. A witness said there was a loud explosion. Muzzies never set off any explosions. My bad.

Being an amphibious assault ship, it probably would carry whatever rotary wing the Marine Corps uses, plus landing craft. Just heard on Fox that it's an amphibious assult RIFLE ship! No kidding! I've been out of the Marine Corps for 20 years, maybe they came up with a rifle ship....lol MSM cant be wrong.

This is the third Bonhomme Richard. She is an active ship. Judging by the equipment on the flight deck I would assume
that she in for refit. Looks like they are about to move the Aegis destroyer from the other side of the pier. They opened the
'fence' a while ago.

The Bonnie-Dick. Used to go along side of her and transfer supplies back and forth, and trade movies. 1955 & 1956

LOL.... I herd that too. Probably its no longer possible for a news person to say "assault" without adding "rifle" to the equation.  The latest I heard was that the fire resulted from a welding accident/incident below deck while the ship was being refitted in port. No mention if the welder was a muzzie or not... 
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

There was a class C fire that spread to a magazine on the port side. I don’t know what type of ordnance was in the mag. Of course on Sunday only the duty section was on board so it got out of control very quickly. The last I heard, it still wasn’t contained. USN and San Diego fire department are fighting the fires. This could get really bad.

That sucks. On the fortunate side, I'm glad she's in port. A fire at sea is about as close to hell on earth as one can get.

I read 55 gallon of parts cleaner, which could be a bunch of different things.

Since she was under maintenance, I'd assume that all munitions and aircraft fuel would've been offloaded.

That's what I was hoping regarding munitions & fuel.... In port for all that work; some of which involved welding. Wouldn't they remove all or most of that stuff ? For fire safety reasons due to welding and or cutting ? I sure hope so. It's been mentioned a couple times already but thank God they aren't out to sea somewhere.

She wasn’t in a major overhaul, just a short routine maintenance availability called a CMAV. They don’t defuel or necessarily offload ammo unless they are doing hot work near a fuel tank or magazine. There’s always a possibility that hot work could have started the fire. We probably won’t know for sure what happened for some time.

If not too much trouble, can someone mention a bit about this type of ship's role and capabilities are?
Reminds me that I need to be more diligent with hot work in the garage. It'd sure suck to set it off

They did not mention what was the fueling the fire.
