USS New Orleans Catches Fire Off The Coast Of Japan
The U.S. Navy's San Antonio class amphibious warfare ship USS New Orleans suffered a fire today while it was off White Beach in Uruma City on the Japanese island of Okinawa. A U.S. official has confirmed to TWZ that the blaze has been contained, but it is unclear at this time if it has been fully extinguished. The fire started at about 5:00 PM local time (4:00 AM Eastern), according to NHK in Japan. At the time of writing, there have been no reports of casualties, and the cause and extent of the damage remain unknown. The New Orleans is homeported in Sasebo on the Japanese home island of Kyushu to the north, and is assigned to the U.S. 7th Fleet. 'Crews are responding to a fire aboard USS New Orleans (LPD 18) this evening, Aug. 20, (Japan Time), which is in the vicinity of Okinawa, Japan,' another Navy spokesperson had earlier told TWZ in a statement.

Crews have been fighting flames aboard USS New Orleans, a US Navy amphibious warship that caught fire in Japan
A fire broke out aboard the US Navy amphibious warship USS New Orleans in Japan on Wednesday evening. Navy sailors have been battling the blaze, the cause of which is unknown. Whether the fire has been extinguished and the extent of the damage is also unclear at this time. The Navy confirmed the fire on Wednesday morning. "Crews are responding to a fire aboard USS New Orleans (LPD 18) this evening, Aug. 20, (Japan Time), which is in the vicinity of Okinawa, Japan. We will provide more details are they become available," a Navy spokesperson told Business Insider. According to local Japanese media, Japan's Coast Guard assisted with firefighting activities around 5 pm local time.

Footage showing firefighting ships with the Japanese Coast Guard fighting a fire onboard the San Antonio-Class Amphibious Transport Dock, USS New Orleans (LPD-18), off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) August 20, 2025 The USS New Orleans is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock commissioned in 2007. The warship is designed to move Marines, their gear, and aircraft like CH-46 Sea Knights and MV-22 Ospreys into combat zones. It was docked at White Beach Naval Facility in Okinawa when the fire broke out. The Navy previously fought a vicious fire aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard at Naval Base San Diego in July 2020, an incident that saw four days of around-the-clock efforts to put out all active fires aboard the ship. That fire left 62 people — 40 sailors and 23 civilians — injured from smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. Repairs for the USS Bonhomme Richard, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, were estimated to take up to seven years and cost billions of dollars. It was ultimately decommissioned and scrapped.
