The ship sustained extensive damage, including to its skin, officials said. While firefighters battled the blaze, the 40,000-ton ship listed toward both its port and starboard sides, the Navy said, likely due to the massive quantities of water that poured into the hull.
Following a walkthrough of the ship on Thursday, the Navy announced it would begin the investigation to determine how the fire ignited and whether the ship can even be saved. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
