A $4 Billion Warship Burned at the Pier Here’s: Why Nobody Stopped It

USS Bonhomme Richard burned for four days… while docked at its own home base. But it wasn’t enemy fire that destroyed it—it was a perfect storm of complacency, offline systems, and a text message instead of a phone call. Just like USS Miami years before, the Navy ignored every warning sign. And this is how you lose a ship without ever leaving port.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The fact the USS Arizona still leaks oil today, tells you how much flammable material is on war ships. :pondering:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Every bulkhead, deck, and overhead is coated with it, and that's just the beginning.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Navy has also forgotten basic damage control, and the ship was littered with flammable debris and substances during its maintenance.  And, oh yeah, the local fire departments had trouble responding because of Navy bureaucracy.
