They just bring in the news here, that a carrier is burning, damaged beyond repair and starts to sink in the harbor of San Diego.

Thats the biggest loss of the US navy since WW II.

Crazy

You assume that that fire was arson and it was started by "leftist"? :D

I just saw that. looks like it started on sunday and hasn't stopped burning yet.
not sure what caused the fire either. more than likely it is an electrical fire and something got to hot.

sure goes to show how quickly a fire on a ship can spread and cause damage.
 
U.S. Navy battles for second day to save burning warship in San Diego - Reuters

The USS Bonhomme Richard, an amphibious assault ship whose size ranks second in the U.S. Navy fleet to that of an aircraft carrier, remained largely shrouded in thick, acrid smoke on Monday as the vessel began listing to its starboard side.

The fire, accompanied by at least one large explosion, erupted Sunday morning in the lower cargo hold of the 844-foot-long (257 meter) ship, docked for routine maintenance at its home port at U.S. Naval Base San Diego.

Not an aircraft carrier but close in size.

... on a side note, the lack of basic fact checking in the news today is staggering.:shock:

nothing to do with what you said.
your deflection is just as poor as every argument that you try to make.

What you said dealt with america not the ship.

my comment was directed at what you said no the OP.
you fail yet again.
 
Hopefully no one was injured.

I'm sure the president will find some time to step away from golfing and rage tweeting to tell us this is Obama's fault somehow.

Ohhh, I see, you just misworded your post for the 1000th time. Your sloppy use of "leftist" without so much as a preceding article was a dead giveaway. :)

Several injuries though none nothing serious. The air quality in that area has been toxic with people warned to stay inside.

this is what you said and I quote you exactly so you can't lie in your post anymore.

"If that's not a perfect analogy for what has happened to America in the last 3.5 years, I don't know what is. "

My response to this is maybe leftist should stop burning **** down.

which is the correct response to this comment.
for it is only leftist that continue to burn and riot and loot over the past 3.5 years.

0. this is why we have laws that say you can't.

I mean i guess you could try but then i have a right to defend myself.

Thank you for your service.
 
If it keeps burning, it may end up like the USS Miami; unrepairable and eventually scrapped.

a few years ago it underwent a 250m upgrad to launch the new f35b from the flight deck.
while it's main function is not an aircraft carrier it can serve as one.

The F-35B is equipped to take off like the British Harrier.
