It appears that one of the crew is being investigated for arson in relation to this.

As an update, the January issue of Air Britain News ( of all things!  Presumably because this will affect the deployment of some US Navy helicopters? ) reports that the ship is to be scrapped as it is cheaper to replace than to repair.  The decision was made on 30/12/20.
