NYT reports that one of the US aircraft carriers has to withdraw to port due to a laundry room fire. About 600 sailors lost access to their bunks.
The fire, according to two officials, began in the vent of a dryer in the ship’s laundry facilities and quickly spread. Sailors battled the blaze for more than 30 hours, officials and sailors said.
The Navy did not respond to a request for comment. Central Command said in its statement that the fire caused “no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.”
Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that U.S. aircraft carriers aren’t safe.
At least the front didn’t fall off.
yet
We think Americans are unsafe dude. Since the boats are crewed by them it’s probably too late to be concerned about this.
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe. It’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.
None of them are safe to the rest of us. Their operators would turn on any of us, on a dime.
I think you misunderstood what I said, Senator Collins. It’s the people that are the problem tp us and while it might be a wisecrack right here, it’s the truth in reality.
Was this U.S. aircraft carrier safe?
About as good as one expects out of a Ford.
Well, some of them are built so that the ship’s main laundry area doesn’t catch fire at all.
This is hilarious for the way it makes clear that he was never helping her whatsoever, lmao. He entirely vanishes in his way, the lass barely moves. Seems like a metaphor or something, idk.
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
The ones that are safe?
Yeah, the ones the vent doesn’t catch fire
THere’s nothing out there… there’s just sailors, and dirty laundry, and no bedding… and a fire.
Nice #TheFrontFellOff homage
Well, are there any design constraints? What are they?
Well, non-flammable vents for one thing
Or maintaining vent filter cleaning schedules.
This happens in homes as well. I knew a family who lived in a semi-remote Ontario area whose 2 yr old house burned to the ground because someone put a load into the dryer, then left for work. By the time the volunteer fire dept got there it was too late.
I just noticed your display name. Nice.
The whole profile, even!
Well, now that you point that out, I notice that most of their comments are playing on the theme. lol. Must surely be a multi, or maybe they just don’t say much, but that is crazy. And fun. :)
It’s a great pleasure. Thank you.
I’ll call you a cab, shall I?
