Horrific. Looks like pictures of Japanese carriers at Midway just after they were hit by US bombs. Videos on Fox News tonight look as bad or worse. Personally, I suspect terrorism even though no news source is so stating, just like the Notre Dame arson. Daily Mail is a great source here because of their great photographic coverage.

The ship’s namesake was Captained by John Paul Jones, like him we have not begun to fight.

Given that the pierside tires holding the Bonhomme Richard away from the piers are igniting, I’d say that the ship is a constructive total loss. When the exterior of the hull at the waterline is so hot it ignites tires, the temperature inside the hull is ruining whatever equipment is inside as well as weakening the hull and frame.

Wonder if Sailors are fighting the fire or just civilians?
Sailors are trained to fight for their ship and they know it. Hopefully the Captain isn’t being required to stand down while his ship burns.
