Navy releases Bonhomme Richard disciplinary records related to fire

The Navy last week released records from Admiral’s Mast disciplinary hearings held late last year in connection to the 2020 fire aboard the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard.

The amphib caught fire while undergoing maintenance in San Diego in July 2020 and burned for several days, forcing the Navy to later sell the warship for scrap and reform how the service handles fire risks while vessels are in the yards.
