Military doesn't do parole.
Thousands of people know who did it.
The crew knows, of course, and most likely much of their families know too. The name is likely on the internet already if one knows how to ask for it.

“is considering court-martial charges”
What is there to consider?
Oh yeah, the protected species act. Must not allow the dread “racissss” accusation to be raised.
What happened to hanging?
“Male convicts from all the services sentenced to punitive discharge and incarceration longer than 7 years are confined at the third-tier – the maximum-security U. S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The Portsmouth Naval Prison, built to be a modern correctional facility for a navy which had once disciplined by flogging and capital punishment, was rendered obsolete. After containing about 86,000 military inmates over its 66-year operation, the brig closed in 1974, its maintenance thereafter contributing to shipyard overhead. The Navy briefly used the prison in the early 1980s to train military corrections officers. Volunteer Inmates from the Rockingham County Jail were sometimes used. “

Damn.
They closed the most brutal, and bleak prison in the military system.
Paying the cost back will put a heck of a dent in his Penson check./sarc
C’mon man! It was a pandemic. He was just trying to make some home-brew hooch and things got out of hand.
The repair estimate eventually grew to $700 million, at which point the sub was decommissioned and written off.
Mr. Fury gave as his reason for setting the fire that he wanted to get out of work early, and that he suffered from anxiety, for which he was taking multiple medications.
Mr. Fury was sentenced to 17 years in prison, which means he'll get out 2027 at the earliest, assuming he has to serve a minimum of 85% of his federal sentence.
He also has to pay restitution of $400 million, which is kind of comical in a way.
Now we know the guilty party is non-White.
No name given for the perp. Another member of a protected class?
The military is now a jobs program for Americans who like to travel.
The Navy is filling up with people who are simply incapable of deep thought.
And we all know they aren’t going to identify because they want to give the defendant enough time to scrub social media accounts of all the pro-BLM, anti-Trump, and CRT crap.
AntiFa?
BLM?
Inquiring minds want to know...
I wonder if it was an accident, doing something stupid like smoking in a no smoking area, or deliberate.
It was at the height of the BLM race riots and all the burning. I wonder if a BLM sailor torched carrier. It’s obvious it wasn’t a Trump maga guy.
...............this is just my personal opinion based upon much duty on many ships. There is NO WAY this is one lower echelon sailor’s fault because even if he/she set the fire it should have been put out. Leadership failed to act IN TIME !!!
Shipboard “FIRE” is beaten into sailors from their very first day MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE and fire drills are conducted daily. This is just another case of officers closing ranks and finding ONE low ranking soul to pin the blame on. I suspect some form of PC is involved too.
They may not do parole but they will let you rejoin. When I was in the Navy I spent some time working with a man who, when he was in the Air Force, murdered his commanding officer and was sentenced to 20 years. He said that during his court martial there was plenty of testimony that the guy was an alcoholic and a bully but that wasn't an excuse to kill him. I don't know if he completed his full sentence but they did let him join another branch of service when he got out.
“The penalty”
All of the posts so far have focused on the arson.
Do we wonder why an entire ship was burned to scrap because of a small initial blaze. Don’t ships have doors to close off areas of the ship? Don’t ships have fire control equipment?
Provocative questions posed on a morning talk show.
Someone called in and said the ship was undergoing major upgrades and the ship’s power was off, etc., so it wasn’t a fully protected warship at the time.
Anecdotal evidence of nothing......
Years ago, I had occasion to regularly visit the extremely large world distribution warehouses of a large aftermarket auto parts manufacturing company. They changed the location. I couldn’t go back there.
I learned that the very very large warehouse burned. Once the fire started, it could not be contained
It turns out the arson was committed by an employee who wanted to create a long weekend off.
That is, a sailor started the fire to keep the vessel in port so he could have extended liberty
unidentified crew member?
