| #4 ...FWIW, I grew up around a shipyard; my Dad was an engineer there. Fires on ships were a regular occurrence, especially on vessels being refitted or repaired - but 99% of the time, they were extinguished long before they ever became a serious threat. But that one percent.... Mike |

| #2 From a Navy Times article: "In a phone call Saturday, Anthony Paolino, a General Dynamics NASSCO spokesman, said the incident involved an ember landing on plastic, causing it to melt and smoke, but said there was no larger fire." Translation: What with the Debacle at Diego, we're gun shy at the moment. Still, better safe than sorry. |
