The amphibious assault ship was in port in San Diego in July so that it could be upgraded to accommodate the new Marine Corps F-35B jets when a massive fire broke out aboard the vessel in one of the costliest conflagrations in modern Navy history.
Lmao.
"Admiral, here are the blueprints for our new warship the boys in R&D drew up. It can host a hangar's worth of aircraft and state of the art detection systems including but not limited to radar, lidar and sonar. Should the enemy even get close, there are countermeasures and trophy systems, and the hulls are so reinforced it can withstand half a dozen torpedoes or cannon fire."
"What would happen if a moderate sized fire broke out onboard?"
"Then consider all souls on board lost"
"Oh well, you win some and you lose some, here's a blank cheque courtesy of the American taxpayer, get this thing built"
McCain would be so proud.
China's aircraft carriers are low-cost, vegan and delicious?
I love my aircraft carriers full of protein

Don't cross us
The Bonhomme Richard had to be sold for scrap because it would have taken 7 years to repair lmao. Add it to the heap of crashed F-35s and submarines that run into mountains that is the mighty US military.
...submarines that run into mountains...
The mental image that popped into my head was absolutely hilarious... "When you're submarines are so broken that they wind up crashing into the Rocky Mountains..." 
USS Noah snArk 
It's not even carrier, but amphibious assault ship.
What I imagined: an amphibious ship as in a ship with wheels that can seamlessly drive onto land to use as an armoured vehicle
What I got: it's a ship used for amphibious assaults
babe its time for your weekly "china is about to collapse" video
