The Fire Damaged USS Bonhomme Richard is Prepared for Towing
SAN DIEGO (March 4, 2021) Salvage contractors from SMIT AMERICAS remove the air traffic control tower aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) in preparation for towing. The removal of the island will improve the ship’s structural integrity…
The Navy sent this out last week, beware of jet blast.
The name Bonhomme Richard is very special because that's the ship John Paul Jones sailed during the revolutionary war and it sank in battle due to fire, but not before he commandeered the HMS Serapis. This was the first time any flag was raised in reconition of The United States. This is where the Serapis flag comes from.
Does that look like 5 D's to you? Maybe I'm stretching here for D5.

France has more to lose then anyone with the Suez shut. They get their oil from their colonies in Africa through the Suez. Funny how their carrier is in the Arabian Sea right now.

This post from the DOD with the Row, row, row your boat is what I believe to be a nod to the RO/RO carriers used for global shipping and look what company started their RO/RO endeavers. Deugro group in the mid 1970's.
