BREAKING: A Navy report obtained by The AP has concluded that there were sweeping failures by commanders, crew members and others in the 2020 arson fire that destroyed the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard.

While one sailor has been charged with setting the fire, the more than 400-page report, obtained by The Associated Press, lists three dozen officers and sailors whose failings either directly led to the ship’s loss or contributed to it. The findings detailed widespread lapses in training, coordination, communication, fire preparedness, equipment maintenance and overall command and control.

“Although the fire was started by an act of arson, the ship was lost due to an inability to extinguish the fire,” the report said, concluding that “repeated failures” by an “inadequately prepared crew” delivered “an ineffective fire response.”

should navy be more ready for drone explosions? should it be able to track drones carrying bombs and vials? what kind of bomb shelter does koch have?

You obtained a 400 page report and didn't even list the top 10 most egregious issues. Great journalism, as always.

Hate to break it to u, but most navy investigations will always assign blame, usually from CO to Department heads. It’s standard procedure.

The BHR was a good ship, glad to have served on her but sad to see her in flames.

Then what are they doing with our tax dollars?

The military needs to prepare for peer competition and stop sleep walking.

What the hell are these big cheeses getting paid for?

They were busy doing diversity, equity & inclusion.

Who was Commander in Chief in July 2020 again?

Top brass has the enlisted too busy focusing on diversity training instead of how to care and protect the ships they live on.
