Description
On September 19, the U.S. Navy will move full-steam ahead in its effort to hold the sailor who they say set a fire on the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard responsible.
On that day, the trial for Navy Seaman Ryan Sawyer Mays begins.
The Navy says Mays sparked the fire inside the warship's Lower Vehicle Deck on July 12, 2020. The fire burned for nearly five days, destroying the warship. The smoke and ash blanketed San Diego Bay and large portions of the city.
The Navy later scrapped the Bonhomme Richard at a cost of $1.2 billion.
