The amphibious landing ship was heavily damaged in a fire last year. An explosion occurred on board during a harbour layover at the San Diego naval base and the subsequent fire destroyed large parts of the ship. <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Bonhomme Richard<\/span>. It took five days for the Navy to announce that the fire had been extinguished. The subsequent assessment of the damage revealed that more than three billion dollars would have to be budgeted for the necessary repairs. The Navy then decided to decommission the ship.<br \/>\nThe <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Bonhomme Richard<\/span> was the third ship to bear this name. It was built by Ingalls Shipbuilding and entered service in August 1998. Around 1100 soldiers served on the 257 metre long and 40,650 tonne displacement unit. In addition, it could carry up to 1900 marines for landing operations. The air component consisted of six AV-8 or F-35B fighter aircraft, four AH-1s, twelve V-22 Ospreys, four CH-53s and four UH-1Y Venoms.<br \/>\nThe <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Bonhomme Richard<\/span> is the first ship in the eight-unit <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Wasp<\/span>-class, which is being decommissioned. Their intended task is to land marines during attack operations with helicopters, landing craft and amphibious vehicles<br \/>\nShortly after its commissioning, the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Bonhomme Richard<\/span> took part in Operation Stabilise in East Timor in February 2000. During the attack on Iraq in 2003, it landed more than 1000 Marines in Kuwait. Its aircraft flew more than 800 missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9805\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9805\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9805\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"Fire on board the Bonhomme Richard 2020\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-04-16-Bonhomme-Richard-2-mfo-1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fire on board the Bonhomme Richard 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: US Navy<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Am 14.
