The U.S. navy charged a sailor Thursday with starting a fire last year that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard docked off San Diego, Calif., marking the maritime branch's worst warship blaze outside of combat in recent memory.

The emails also revealed that several other smaller fires broke out aboard three other San Diego-based ships in the 15 months leading up to the fire that eventually saw the Bonhomme Richard scrapped: a March 2019 fire on the USS Boxer (LHD-4) Wasp-class amphibious assault ship; one aboard the Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship USS Champion (MCM-4) in November 2019; and a March 2020 fire on the USS Harpers Ferry (LSD-49), the lead ship of the Harpers Ferry class of dock landing ships. It�s unknown if the suspect in the Bonhomme Richard fire was in any way involved with those other fires.

I was wondering what became of the Bonhomme Richard after that fire. Crazy that a sailor started that. He is going to be in a world of shit.

This is a HEAD hunt. Everyone is getting charged, even retired personal and the commander of the port.
