Saw mention of this in the last hour. It has supposedly been burning for about 12 hours.

One post mentioned a helicopter fire.

There is a reason that the USN practices fire drills continuously (at least, they used to), and that is that an effective fire brigade can save a ship from disaster.

"There is a reason that the USN practices fire drills"

However, the Chinese practice Chinese Fire Drills.

It’s not a bug it’s a feature. It’s winter now and sailors gotta keep warm.

Imagine those 800 hot, horny, smoked Chinese warriors swimming ashore and finding those hot Thai women.

If it were to sink that makes two capital assets the ChiCom navy has lost this year (submarine a few months ago) ...

Maybe the money for shipboard disaster training is being diverted to the Cho BiDung crime family.

I thought that was the “John McCain Is Aboard” policy...

False flag operation to get the Taiwan war started? When dictators/governments get themselves into serious trouble (significant threats to their control), wars are one of their most popular diversions.
