More than 400 sailors are fighting to save the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard from a devastating fire that broke out on the vessel Sunday morning.
At least two decks stand between the fire and the roughly 1 million gallons of fuel on the big-deck amphib at Naval Base San Diego, Rear Adm. Philip Sobeck, commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 3, said Monday.

I wonder why they don't get planes to dump water from above. I sure hope the fires don't get to the fuel.
