Business Insider/Task & Purpose: The Bonhomme Richard fire raises concerns about the Navy's ability to repair ships during a war
* A days-long fire aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard has likely left the ship years away from being able to go to sea again.
* The extensive damage to that ship has highlighted what is likely to be a big challenge in a war with a power like Russia or China: the US military's ability to build and repair major assets like ships.
While the damage to amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard is still being assessed, the best case scenario is that the ship will require several years of extensive repairs before it can return to sea.
Phil Ewing, a national security editor with NPR, pointed out that if it takes years to salvage vessels in peacetime, it is unlikely that the Navy could repair ships damaged in a war with China and Russia before the conflict ended.
"The assets you have on the First Day of the War in this era are likely the only ones you'll get and when they are broke, they go away; you are likely not going to get new ones or fix the current ones quickly enough to be relevant," Ewing tweeted on July 14.

WNU Editor: The US Navy does not have the industrial infrastructure/base to quickly repair ships that may be damaged during a major war. And by the time the US does have such a base and infrastructure, the war will probably be over.

No one can repair during war when everything is complex. Just dont scare yourself, nobody have.
It was possible during WWII because we had the industrial base for that. It will be possible too if we URGENTLY rebuilt these infrastructure we had before the end of the cold war.
US society has become so so weak, not used to any hardship. Many basic skills like mechanics lost, outsourced..
If we go to war, we'll have a gazillion app developers all standing around with their Starbucks coffees...
We need a major, major overhaul. And it needs to happen like yesterday. Good that Trump tries to bring industries back, but people need to support him and this left wing media nonsense needs to stop
We might soon be facing a real war with a very powerful nation that starts with C and they actually know shit that matters.
I don't want to hear any more gender pronouns and these jobs need to be removed. HR boards need to be restructured. They're forcing their work staff to waste crucial time and resources on so much nonsense it becomes a national security risk and poisons the minds of young children on top. But talk about the real harm they do and -you- get silenced for an imaginary offence.
Freedom of speech=gone
Industrial base=near gone
But hey.. we got 20 different gender pronouns and an army of entitled idiot running amok in our economy and lives
Same is happening in all European countries. There's a concerted effort underway to weaken our society, erase or culture, remove our very valuable skills and weaken us in general.
This needs to stop. People need to stand up to these idiots, cancel culture mobs and weak politicians
The Chinese war by other means is what's up. Our educational institutions are infiltrated, financed by China. Look at cambridge.. the paper on origins of the Wuhan virus. The Chinese paid them money to research the origin as long as they come up with a conclusion different to the obvious. Chinese money is influencing our media and educational system and our politicians see no harm. This is retarded and we're not allowed to say so, because "racism". And then the left wing mob piles on you.
