USS Bon Homme Richard on fire in San Diego!

[dannavy85]

USS Bon Homme Richard is on fire in San Diego after an explosion aboard. The LHD assault ship was in for maintenance when a "High Order Detonation" was reported inside the ship's dock bay and hanger. There was only a duty section of sailors aboard at the time. The fire is horrendous, made even worse by the fact that the ship is fully exposed...hatches open, vents open....no sailors on board to set Zebra or go to General Quarters. Fire scanner calls the ship "fully involved"

As of this moment, SDFD has ordered all assets to evacuate the pier next to the ship fearing further explosions.
