Kennedy<\/a> has prompted builder Newport News Shipbuilding to shut down all welding this week as the shipyard investigates, according to a statement from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/breaking-news\/2018\/08\/03\/us-navy-awards-huge-contract-to-huntington-ingalls-for-its-newest-class-of-amphibious-vessels\/\" target=_blank>Huntington Ingalls Industries<\/a>, its parent company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire broke out around 10:15 a.m. on Monday and was quickly extinguished by emergency crews, the statement read, resulting in no injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/home\/2015\/06\/06\/major-contracts-awarded-for-new-us-carrier\/\" target=_blank>Newport News Shipbuilding<\/a> is investigating the cause of this incident,\u201d the statement from HII spokesman Duane Bourne read. \u201cThere are no known cost or schedule impacts at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNewport News Shipbuilding secured all hot work on CVN 79 while the cause of the fire is being investigated and a yard-wide stand down was conducted for fire safety.

The fire damaged 11 of 14 decks and gutted the ship\u2019s island superstructure, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2020\/07\/22\/the-us-navys-top-officer-reveals-grim-details-of-the-damage-to-bonhomme-richard\/\" target=_blank>letter from the chief of naval operations<\/a> obtained by Defense News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small fire on the future carrier John F.
