A total of 21 people, including 17 sailors and four civilians, were injured in a fire on USS Bonhomme Richard, a U.S. Navy ship in California. The ship, which had around 160 sailors on board at the time of the fire, was undergoing maintenance at Naval Base San Diego. Colin Stowell, head of the San Diego fire department, said that the fire could go on "for days" and "just burn down to the waterline." The cause of the explosion and when the fire will be extinguished remains unclear.
