It’s in port, not enough water beneath the keel to sink completely. It may very likely be salvageable. Massive damage and fires on WWII ships were brought into dry docks, repaired and went back out to sea. The USS South Dakota is one example.
South Dakota’s damage was not that bad. Now, West Virginia, on the other hand, took something like 8 torpedoes at Pearl Harbor. She came out the yard at Bremerton looking like an entirely different vessel. But despite the damage, she still had not been gutted by fire.
I think in this case, it’s more like the damage to the USS Franklin. The Franklin didn’t sink and made it back to New York under her own power, but she was written off.
The South Dakota wasn't 22 years old at the time and the U.S. isn't in the middle of a world war.
Repairing this ship will run into 10 figures and the money would be better spent on a replacement.
Those ships didn’t have a a signifigant amount of aluminum in the structure. The Bonhomme Richard does.
