\nUSS Bonhomme Richard Blaze<\/em><\/p>\n

The fire that destroyed USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) at pier side in July of 2020 was found to be clearly preventable and was the result of a series of systematic failures.<\/p>\n

The cascading errors and breakdowns in damage control involved 36 personnel, a Naval investigation found. These included the commanding officer of Bonhomme Richard and five admirals. They were found to have failed to maintain the ship, ensure adequate training, provide shore support, or carry out proper oversight.<\/p>\n

The ship had been docked at Naval Base San Diego for scheduled maintenance when the fire broke out. It burned for over four days and resulted in the Navy scrapping the ship.<\/p>\n

One sailor from Bonhomme Richard had been charged with starting the fire.<\/p>\n

Sailor found not guilty of Bonhomme Richard arson<\/h3>\n

SAN DIEGO (AP) \u2014 A Navy judge has ruled a sailor was not guilty of setting a fire that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard in San Diego in 2020.<\/p>\n

The ruling Friday came after a nine-day trial at Naval Base San Diego.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeaman Recruit Mays was found not guilty on the charges of willful hazarding of a vessel and aggravated arson. The Navy is committed to upholding the principles of due process and a fair trial,\u201d said Lt. Samuel R. Boyle, spokesman for U.S 3rd Fleet.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors charged then-19-year-old Ryan Sawyer Mays with arson and the willful hazarding of a ship and accused him of igniting cardboard boxes in a lower vehicle storage area.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well well. We’ve seen this movie before. These prosecutors should clearly state, “I <\/strong> O<\/strong>we the W<\/strong>orld an A<\/strong>pology.” Thanks, Jeff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
