Many people can't believe that the number one warship fire is actually the US military!

Although the U.S. military claims to have the best damage control capability in the world, it still has to catch fire when it should start. The fire of the "Goodman Richard" amphibious assault ship will not be mentioned, but only this fire has been able to firmly fix the number one fire in the US Navy!

In addition to the fire on the "Good Man Richard", let's take a look at other US warship fires in recent years.

On November 14, 2019, a small fire broke out in the USS Iwo Jima during maintenance at the Mayport Naval Base in Florida.

In May 2019, the guided missile destroyer "Fitzgerald" was repaired and upgraded at the Ingles Shipyard in Mississippi. As a result, there were many fires caused by unsafe operations.

On November 10, 2019, the destroyer "Oscar Austin" experienced an electrical fire during a one-year upgrade at BAE Systems' Norfolk Shipyard in Virginia.

These fires make the first "throne" of ship fires in recent years to be the US military!

So who is the second?

Many people think of India. In fact, the Russian Navy is the main source of frequent fires these years! In terms of the degree of loss, it surpassed India.

On the morning of February 16, 2018, the large-scale anti-submarine ship "Admiral Shaboshnikov", which was being upgraded by the Russian Navy, caught fire in the Far East Shipyard. Thick smoke emerged from the bridge. The huge hull was covered, and the subsequent investigation was a safety production accident.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on December 12, 2019, the only aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy, Kuznetsov Navy, was repaired and upgraded at the 35th Navy Shipyard in Murmansk There was a fire on board "Jiang".

The fire occurred in the first energy compartment on the second floor below the front flight deck. The fire area was 120 square meters at first, and then continued to spread, reaching 600 square meters when it was extinguished.

The fire caused 10 injuries and 2 deaths. The cause of the fire was that the workers ignited the cables during electric welding in the cabin and ignited the cables. In addition, the fuel and other combustible materials were piled in the cabin, which caused the fire to spread rapidly.

This fire made the maintenance and upgrading of the "Admiral Kuznetsov" a long way to go.

The third is actually Turkey.

On April 30, 2019, a fire broke out in the light aircraft carrier "Anadolu" built by the Turkish Navy at the Tuzla Shipyard in Istanbul.

The fire point was located in the lower deck windlass room on the right side of the ski jump deck. Although there was no open flame escaping from the ship body, thick smoke came out and blackened the bow side, indicating a certain area of ​​fire inside. .

The Turkish military said it was a small fire, but it still affected the delivery of the aircraft carrier.

From the impact point of view, this is an aircraft carrier fire, which has a lot of influence.

The Indian Navy ranked fourth.

On June 21, 2019, the missile destroyer "Visakhapatnam" under construction by the state-owned Mazagon Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in Mumbai, India, caught fire. The fire burned through the most advanced missile destroyer in India. After the second and third decks, the fire was put out by 8 fire trucks and rapid response vehicles.

The reason why the ship can quickly put out the fire is because it has only completed the hull construction, and even the superstructure has not been installed, so the external fire water columnCan play a better role.

However, a worker was smothered to death in this incident.
