NYT reports that one of the US aircraft carriers has to withdraw to port due to a laundry room fire. About 600 sailors lost access to their bunks.
The fire, according to two officials, began in the vent of a dryer in the ship’s laundry facilities and quickly spread. Sailors battled the blaze for more than 30 hours, officials and sailors said.
The Navy did not respond to a request for comment. Central Command said in its statement that the fire caused “no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.”
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe. It’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.
None of them are safe to the rest of us. Their operators would turn on any of us, on a dime.
I think you misunderstood what I said, Senator Collins. It’s the people that are the problem tp us and while it might be a wisecrack right here, it’s the truth in reality.
