Understandable. At that cost and timeline you could build a new one.

Did they ever discover the cause?

They’ll probably build a new one instead. And salvage parts from the old ship as much as possible.

Use it as a training ship, for fire fighting - as one example.

Awww! That was a purdy ship.
Reminded me of mine, the Peleliu.

The way things are going, I thought that would be the ship
the Biden administration would keep, and get rid of all the
others.

Did they ever discover the cause? The article says it's still under investigation.
To: Lower Deck
The replacement ship will probably have a new name.
The same name might be bad luck.

“The same name might be bad luck.”
I think that’s very superstitious.

Did they ever release the name of the arsonist who was targeted in the investigation?

Over a decade ago, I boarded one of its Wasp class sister ships during Fleet Week. It was an impressive hunk of metal, to say the least. Best of all, the Osprey was embarked at the time. I am annoyed that the people responsible haven’t been brought to book or at least charged with criminal negligence.
