It is the only 688i that's been decomissioned.

Scrapped due to severe damage by a fire.

Originally the Navy reported that the fire started when an industrial vacuum cleaner, used "to clean worksites on the sub after shipyard workers’ shifts," sucked up a heat source that ignited debris inside the vacuum. On 23 July 2012 a civilian employee Casey J. Fury, was charged and confessed to starting the fire in order to "get out of work early". Fury admitted to setting the 23 May fire, having ignited some rags on the top bunk of a bunk room. Fury was sentenced to over 17 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $400 million in restitution.

I s'pose someting like that could happen to a B-2, eh?

At least when a 688i catches fire it causes $450m of damage rather than $2.2b

Yeah, and they'll get their $400 million out of a submarine vacumer guy too, eh?
