Why USS Bonhomme Richard was scrapped after her fire

Why was USS Bonhomme Richard scrapped instead of repaired after the fire?

The damage made reconstruction more expensive than replacement; the fire response also drew severe criticism of the ship's chain of command.

The fire spread so widely through Bonhomme Richard that repair would have required taking much of the ship apart. Replacement is judged cheaper than that scale of reconstruction, despite the recent refit. The account of the fire report is sharply critical of the response, including the failure to pass the initial report to the captain. Those failings are interpreted as a breakdown in the chain of command. The captain's responsibility remains central even when failures occur at several levels of the ship's organization.
