UPDATED: Navy Will Scrap USS Bonhomme Richard - USNI News

I think the bigger issue with rebuilding the BHR is the fact that Huntington Ingalls would have to take a new ship construction off line for this. It seems it's more about capacity than cost.

I think the bigger issue with rebuilding the BHR is the fact that Huntington Ingalls would have to take a new ship construction off line for this. It seems it's more about capacity than cost.

With the replacements for the class already in service and production still active, this seemed the likely outcome from how bad the damage looked, but until the evaluation on status was done it was hard to be sure which way the numbers made sense
