A warship in its home port, with all possible support systems, experiences an inextinguishable fire that lasts for several days.
That is not reassuring about the survivability of the USN's capital assets in any conflict. Do they build them stuffed with paper waste and other flammables?
It is incomprehensible to me that a maintenance period appears to have been a time of slacking off.
We all know that major structures undergoing maintenance are at elevated risk, Notre Dame being the prime example. Yet this seems to have been business as usual or worse.
Overall, a deeply depressing performance.
