How US Navy Failures Destroyed The USS Bonhomme Richard

 gCaptain: Fire, Fire, Fire: How Navy Failures Destroyed the Bonhomme Richard   

A guy with a flag simulates a flame, and a nozzleman says…I am squirting you with water…and then they say…fire is out.”  

This statement by a Navy sailor is found in the recently released Navy report on the USS Bonhomme Richard fire and typifies how many of the firefighting drills were conducted for the crew before the catastrophic fire, lasting five days, destroyed the ship in July 2020. 

In addition to poorly run and deficient drills, many of the ship’s crew had not donned Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) in over a year, did not know how to use or activate Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) or halogenated hydrocarbon (Halon) firefighting systems, and were unaware of where to locate and use Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus (EEBA).

USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) came back from a WestPAC in 2019? Sad thing is Sand Diego has a Navy firefighting school. Many people transferred in and out. Of interest is the training logs by number. How many people went to firefighting school out of the skeleton crew?

The anonymized training records can objectively tell firefighting and other proficiencies and the emphasis placed on various curricula both real world and liberal.

From don't ask don't tell in 2010 to complete breakdown thanks to pronoun studies

And you still think the left who pushed all of this is not treasonous or so incompetent and idiotic it's all the same anyways
