Are they just straying water on bare metal?
LOL

american ships are shitty metal death traps

>surrounded by infinite amount of water
>can't put out a fire

thank you for your service

meme aside, isnt it pretty hard to put out such fires? iirc they can gloom for days and days in some corners/behind walls and lighten up again when you think they are put out.

Extremely.

The ship was under maintenance with the majority of the crew off ship. All the normal firefighting systems are turned off and the bulkhead doors are open for contractors and crew doing maintenance. A ship catching fire whilist in dock is the worst possible case.

Yup, the entire structure is going to be near the flame point as well so whenever they put one area out, another catches fire.

Ship fires are some of the worst fires you can get. I work on cruise ship and there's nothing we train for more than fires.

What the fuck is wrong with our navy? Stuff like this is happening every other month it seems

Very and some sources say the fire haven't even reached the fuel cells yet, so it can only get worse.

Pretty sure that ship is done for. The structural integrity will be fucked forever after that even if they put the fire out. It's gonna be warped, bent and crooked beyond repair.

Should just tow it into a safe location and let it burn.

Is it going to be scrapped or scuttled?

How do warship catch fire? Metal doesn't burn.

This

scuttled probably. the cost and danger to put it out isn't worth the scrap it's worth.

The stuff inside it does and when that burns the metal heats up conducting throughout the ship spreading the heat and can cause more damage too.

They can't scuttle it while it's burning right?

they could put a boom around the area and use a controlled detonation below the water line to sink it.

>American navy now

fire started in a storage room
supposedly it was filled with clothes and paper documents
also they were doing maintenance on the ship so paint could have helped spread the fire

Y-yeah h-haha
Imagine having one of your warships burning. Must be a subhuman country.
Haha

Now imagine if America was at war.
Kek they would collapse in the first weeks of war.

Submarines are another thing entirely

why not submerge it and then drag it up again?

Did the two sailors died?
