The amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) — an aircraft carrier in all but name — is almost certainly lost, a burned-out useless hulk lost during peacetime in American home waters.
While the Navy has not yet said whether or not they’ll attempt to repair the Bonhomme Richard and return her to service, “the situation does not look good,” according to The Diplomat’s Robert Farley.
