FILE PHOTO: A US Navy helicopter continues fighting a fire on the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard at Naval Base San Diego, in San Diego, California on Jul 13, 2020. LOS ANGELES: Crews have extinguished all known fires aboard a US Navy warship that burnt for four days at its mooring in San Diego, a top admiral said on Thursday , but it was still unclear if the Bonhomme Richard could be saved.
The flames erupted on Sunday morning, followed by at least one large explosion aboard the Bonhomme Richard, which was commissioned in 1998 with a name dating to the US Revolutionary war. The Bonhomme Richard, whose size ranks second in the US Navy fleet to that of an aircraft carrier, sustained severe damage from the flames, leaving the ship listing to the starboard side, its superstructure collapsed and melted.
"The Bonhomme Richard has proved its survival. It's in stable condition all the way through," he said.
