Sailor eyed in possible arson on Navy ship that burned for days

Investigators believe a massive fire that erupted on the Navy ship the USS Bonhomme Richard may have been intentionally set, and a Navy sailor has been identified as a possible suspect, two Defense officials confirmed Wednesday.

The new details in the investigation of the July fire were reported earlier Wednesday by KGTV, an ABC affiliate in San Diego where the amphibious assault ship is based.

Two Defense officials confirmed to NBC News that investigators now suspect arson.

But the investigation is ongoing, and a determination has not been made as to whether the sailor is an actual suspect in the fire.

The sailor was not named, and no additional details were released.

“But the investigation is ongoing, and a determination has not been made as to whether the sailor is an actual suspect in the fire.”

If they are eyeing the sailor, then he/she IS a suspect.

Everyone who is surprised by this should check their paranoia because they are about a quart low.

I’ll bet you a $3 bill that he was actually a rear admiral in the Greek navy.

Rumor had it that after the USS Forrestal fire, the carrier return to San Diego for a year's worth of repairs. It was scheduled to return to Yankee station, when one of Zumwalt's morons cut off a lock on an inspection hatch, and dropped a large wrench into a main turbine gear reduction box.

I've heard the gentleman finally got out of Leavenworth a few years ago. Another reason why ALL Communists should be edited out of the system.

And wasn’t there another notable case of a USN ship burning that turned out to be arson by a sailor or a tradesman working on the ship? He wanted the day off or wanted to head home early. Something like that.

If he’s guilty, he deserves life without parole, but “if” is a big word. Dr. Steven J. Hatfill can discuss that.
