There won’t be a navy by the time Obama gets done with the military
Solid magnesium is indeed flammable. I have seen a video of an F-8U Crusader being shot off the #4 cat when the starboard side wheel came off. The magnesium landing gear strut against the high friction landing deck surface lit up. Fortunately the pilot was able to punt.

Just don’t hit any car made before 1970, or you car will be totaled and you will go out on a stretcher, while the other guy scratches his head contemplating the small dent in his vintage car.
===I actually saw this happen.====

Yeah right.
Your women are being raped by bearded barbarians and Sweden is being eaten alive by Islam like any other western country.
Hey, they’re busy driving their little Volvo-badged Ford station wagons to their ‘second homes’ (in Minnesota they’re called ice fishing shacks)!
Alexandria redux.
By 2020 Sweden will be a Muslim state.
I guess you have never, ever put water on a magnesium fire? :)
Yes, it burns.
Yes, it burns even better when we does it with water !!!
Since God made it. Check this video out.
Magnesium Explosion During FD Car Fire Training
2 large magnesium bell housings were placed in the drivers seat. The explosion occurs about 5 minutes into the vehicle burning. No water was applied to create the explosion.
Novacool UEF works on Class D Fires as well.

This indecent occurred 5-16-2011 after midnight. Engine 103 responded to a report of an auto fire in the Montpelier area of Laurel. Ambulance 109 was on the air at the time, and responded to make up staffing. Ambulance 109 was first on the scene, with an Auto well off; Engine 103 arrived soon thereafter.
Lots of things will burn when they get hot enough, Ask a firefighter. BTW, Some are tough to put out.

1. Carrier fleet is now down to 11.
2. S-3B Viking (dedicated carrier based sub hunter) has been retired without replacement.
3. MH-60R Seahawk helicopter is supposed to fill in for ASW missions.
4. DD-963 dedicated ASW destroyers are retired without replacement.
5. FFG-7 frigates are going away without replacement.
6. Early boats of the SSN-688 Los Angeles class are being retired and fewer replacements of the Seawolf class and Virginia class aren't replacing the boats retiring or headed for service life extension programs.
7. The P-3C Orion ASW fleet is shrinking and the replacement P-8A Poseidon (and its BAMS drone) won't come close to replacing the numbers of aircraft retired. Also, P-8A and BAMS drone numbers have been scaled back.
Last but not least, the USN ran a year long series of ASW tests out of San Diego against the Swedish Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) submarine HMS Gotland. The tests lasted from March 2005 through July 2007. Test results remain classified, but the USN did not do well against the advanced diesel-electric boat.
“The Vikings - We know war!”
The Vikings did, your lousy cowardly country doesn’t. You wouldn’t even fight the Nazi, instead you sided with them and helped them. Pussy.
