Thanks goodness the crew is accounted for. Hope there's no further damage to the port and the ships around it.

No question, I was trying to find out how much and what kind of ammunition a Wasp Class Ship would carry, all I could find that it has four pretty large ammunition storage lockers throughout the ship that carry bombs and missiles for its aircraft Fixed Wing and rotary, plus missiles and war heads for its sea sparrow systems, plus ammunition for the various guns on their planes and the ship itself. Plus if I read it right it can carry 450,000 gallons of various fuel to support the ships two boilers, plus aircraft and vehicles.

I think it was in for maintenance so hopefully munitions and fuel had been unloaded

Yes, the ship has been in maintenance for some time. All of the munitions would have been removed, but some fuel/oil remained - mostly to keep generators running. The Admiral speaking in the press conferences indicated the fuel/oil are two decks below the fire at this time.
There are currently 400 Navy/Fed personnel fighting this fire and the same Admiral hopes the BHR will sail again, although I think he is just saying that so as not to discredit the efforts of the said 400 fire fighters.

I think and you can correct me that the American's have 10 of these Wasp's left in service, this one, was one of the newer ones.

Eight ships were commissioned and eight (soon to be seven) are still in service.

While Russia and Turkey support opposing sides in the Armenian/Azerbaijani dispute, they buitted heads at times in Idlib, Syria, and now they are conducting joint patrols in Syria.

Three Russian MP were slightly wounded in this attack. Their vehicle did a great job protecting them.

Going off of memory, but didn't Russia and Turkey sign some kind of port visit for the Black Sea Fleet with Turkey at some point?

A Russian port visit to Istanbul or are you talking about the Montreaux Convention that governs transiting the Bosphorus and Dardanelles?

I thought it was the first one, and NATO was pretty angry about it, or I could be imagining things.

Maybe the other way around? Russia and Turkey held a joint Navy ex in the Black Sea last year.
