Not sure what those boats are trying to do squirting the side of the ship....I hope all of our guys got out, because that doesn’t look good.

 

[4Waters]

I hope this was just an accident, and not a BLM or ANTIFA stunt

Get out of here with that. How are they gonna get on the base.

this was most likely a welding accident during a retrofit

Cool the steel to prevent it from buckling and cracking which will sink it.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Water removal from a burning ship is critical. Almost as important as using it to extinguish the fire.

 

[SoCalDave]

My FIL worked on that ship when it was at the LBNSY. Hope everyone gets off okay without injury.

 

[stephenkatsea]

We were taught in Advanced Maritime fire fighting, shipboard fires not dealt with in the first 2 minutes usually turn catastrophic.

 

[JB in so cal]

My FIL was on that ship during the Korean War. Hope everyone gets off okay without injury.

same name different ship i think

Impossible. It was laid in 1995

US Navy ship on fire at San Diego base; at least 17 sailors, 4 civilians injured

SAN DIEGO (KSWB/WFLA/AP) — Seventeen sailors and four civilians are being treated for non-life threatening injuries Sunday from a fire burning on the USS Bonhomme Richard at Naval Base San Di…

SAN DIEGO (KSWB/WFLA/AP) — At least eighteen sailors are being treated for minor injuries after a fire following an explosion onboard a U.S. Navy ship in San Diego Sunday morning.

The blaze was reported shortly before 9 a.m. on USS Bonhomme Richard, Krishna Jackson, the base’s public information officer told AP officials.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Jackson told AP that she didn’t know where on the 840-foot (255-meter) amphibious assault vessel the blast and the fire occurred. The ship was undergoing routine maintenance at the time of the fire.

Jackson estimated about 200 sailors and officers were on board — far fewer than if the ship was on active duty.

The entire crew is off the ship and all are accounted for, according to SDFD. More information to follow.

No word yet on the cause of the fire. At least one of the injuries was from an explosion, per SDPD.

I stand corrected, he was part of the commissioning team when working at the LBNSY and went to sea on it as a civilian.
I started drinkin early today...LOL

 

[2Driver]

Man that looks bad. Wonder if they are going to call in the Buckskin Fire boat

I was just getting ready to post this

Apparently enlisted can't get on base.

Was on that ship during Fleet Week in SF a number of years back. As I recall a good part of the lower deck is all open space. Going to be a big oven.

 

[Wolskis]

5 1/2 years aboard a destroyer during the 80's, thank God we never had a fire in the engine room. It would have been a mf'er to fight.

Yep the top looks like an aircraft carrier and the bottom hold looks like this. They can sink the ship down and flood the compartment to drive boats/amphib craft into the back.

The first step we learned when shipboard firefighting is to isolate the space. Electrically, fuel/oil/machinery, and oxygen. Close all the hatches and turn off all the ventilation. If the fire was in that bottom hold, there’s no way to do that. It’ll be interesting to see what caused the fire and also what fueled it.

 

[Blackmagic94]

You can’t batten the hatches when it’s in port for retrofit. They have electric lines and temp plumping running the whole ship.

 

[Riverbound]

My brother has been deployed on the sister ship a few times. He confirmed it was a welding incident and not any sort of act.

 

[Warlock1]

Somebody did not do or follow a proper Hot Works permit, just saying

 

[havabrew]

We live (El Cajon) 16 miles N E of there and it stunk all day yesterday from it! Nasty.

Wind shifted up from the south last evening into this morning, so north coastal and here in Escondido by 1:30 AM, were experiencing the acrid stench. Breeze shifted to more westerly now, so back at ya Ramona, El Cajon.

 

[Mandelon]

The whole City smells like burning plastic and an electrical fire. So much smoke!

 

[HCP3]

What is the latest on the ship?

 

[2Driver]

The whole City smells like burning plastic and an electrical fire. So much smoke!

We have some friends there from San Bernardino and they said they didn’t notice anything.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Probably because San Bernadino is a long way away from San Diego....

 

[2Driver]

Probably because San Bernadino is a long way away from San Diego....

Meaning.....From San Berdoo in SD. It was also a joke if your read into it.

 

[Blackmagic94]

The bridge has collapsed along with antenna arrays. She also is listing now

 

[JB in so cal]

She's a goner...

 

[riverroyal]

My guy Maverick rocks a Ninja. I believe that's Iceman's ride, he seams like a GSX-R type of guy...

 

[Taboma]

This is a video capture from this mornings local CBS broadcast. Appears they've made some great progress since yesterday.
Was able to open windows and cool the house down this morning, couldn't yesterday due to the acrid stench.

 

[HCP3]

So the bridge did not collapse?

 

[rmarion]

Man that looks bad. Wonder if they are going to call in the Buckskin Fire boat

or maybe a couple of jetovators

 

[Singleton]

So the bridge did not collapse?

it had 2, the forward bridge is damaged and fell some

 

[yz450mm]

Creepy.

I’ll tell ya what..... this will be a huge eye opener to the Navy brass about Survivability of their ships. They will be looking at every single material used in their ships. And fire rating will be scrutinized!!!!!

 

[HCP3]

The US still has the largest Navy in the world. Even without this ship.
