So the wiring remains flammable, the ducting remains large and generously supplied with oxygen and the crew is expected to block the ducts when fires arise.
The Bonnie Dick showed what happens when a fire happens under other than USN conditions. Not sure anyone is listening however.
You seem to offer up opinions on a wide range of military topics. Care to share your background?
