Did anyone see the interior picture, it is bad, everything has been burned, warped or just gone.
I'd be interested in seeing it. Where can I find said pictures
No but I think you said it......she's gone. Hopefully the brave guys and gals battling this thing can at least prevent a major environmental disaster from occurring in SD. I can't even imagine what it must be like to be in compartments right now, trying to fight this. Serious balls.
Yup. Word is pretty much every trained/qual'd available fire party member on the waterfront is getting rotated in.

Shouldn't be a surprise that the spaces looks trashed, it is actually a little surprising there aren't more obvious bulkhead/deck structural deformities, but who knows how that'll hold up under closer inspection when this is all said and done.

As far as I can tell, no one was seriously hurt, so hopefully my question is not too soon. What happens to the guys slated in to go to this ship as CO/XO? Do they cut other tours short to fit everyone in, or will someone at the end of the line lose their shot?
Listened to any interesting convo on the live feed. They (controllers?) asked the helo if they could assess the temperature on the starboard bow. I assume via FLIR? They reported back deck heat at a certain spot, and are dropping onto that spot.
You’re assuming a lot. The Navy May opt to repair her. And even if she’s going for decomm, there’s a few thousand sailors assigned to her that need to be handled in an orderly manner. I don’t envy the PCO’s monumental upcoming task.
A good helo aircrewman is always ready for NJP!
I think it's going to be a while before we know anything for sure. It takes a lot of high-level people meeting (and congressional action maybe?) to decomm a ship. Plus, the investigation(s). During a pandemic. None of this is going to happen overnight.
I'm scared to ask, but WTF else is going to happen this year? ?

Public health officials have announced that a squirrel in Colorado has tested positive for the bubonic plague.

And what exactly is said aircrew being charged with?
I'm sure they'll find something.
