I fought one large class A fire (on another ship when our R and A team was called away) and had another 10 years later one night when I was the duty section leader. Interestingly, neither were in the yards and both were found later to have been deliberately set by disgruntled crewmen. The first one was on an LHA and the guy actually had three fires going at the same time, which was why they called for assistance from other ships. The second the same guy had also sabotaged steering gear motors earlier to keep the ship from getting underway. Later they nailed him for both the fire and the steering motors.
He intentionally sabotaged a critical piece of US military infrastructure. He should be charged with treason. And shot.
Wonder how much they liked Levenworth? We were lucky that was our worst one. But we did have a switchboard melt when a DFWT water line ruptured right over it. Actually we lost an entire Main Machinery Room.
