A bipartisan group of 22 lawmakers from Congress is asking Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas W. Harker to "save taxpayers millions of dollars" and sink the irreparably damaged USS Bonhomme Richard somewhere near Florida, according to a report.
Fox News reached out to the Navy and is waiting for an official comment. Last July, more than 21 people suffered minor injuries in an explosion and fire on board the 840-foot amphibious assault vessel at Naval Base San Diego, military officials said.More Related News
