Eric Ver Hage, commander of the Navy Regional Maintenance Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/11\/30\/navy-will-scrap-fire-ravaged-bonhomme-richard\/\" target=_blank>told reporters<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even turning the stricken amphib into another asset, like a hospital ship, would\u2019ve taken years and cost more than $1 billion, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Navy\u2019s message last week did not include a price tag fort the dismantling work, Ver Hage said last year that such an effort would cost about $30 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retiring Bonhomme Richard would involve stripping it of usable parts in San Diego before it is towed to the Gulf Coast for decommissioning, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\"

class=\"wp-element-caption\">Images of the badly scorched interior of the U.S. amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard have started to emerge online.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ignominious loss of one of the Navy\u2019s mightiest symbols of sea power came after Bonhomme Richard had already been in the shipyard for 18 months, undergoing $250 million worth of upgrades to accommodate the F-35B joint strike fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was a pretty substantial investment,\u201d Ver Hage said of those upgrades. \u201cClearly a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday\u2019s fleet message also announced that the first two littoral combat ships, the Freedom and Independence will be placed in an \u201cout of commission, in reserve\u201d status later this year, available to be called back up if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dock landing ship Fort McHenry will be placed into a similar reserve status in the coming months, according to the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coastal patrol ships Zephyr and Shamal will be dismantled this year, while sister ship Tornado will be sold to a foreign military, as will the fleet ocean tug Sioux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first two littoral
