Triple plus ungood.

She's gone, for at least a year, even if they get the fire out before the aviation fuel tanks explode.

She just came out of a scheduled maintenance period.

So I'm unsure if there is an Air Group assigned or if the AVGas tanks and weapons magazines are loaded.

"explosions on board"

Magazines were loaded.

===

1 SDFD reported injured.

SDFD reporting fire is out...

Fire is not out.

===

I count one Burke class DDG tied up on the opposite side of that pier.

In the close area, at least 5 LCS (both classes) boats. Two attack transports. One other Amphib (baby carrier).

Air Group was not loaded, still has shipping containers all over the deck.

===

Fire boats are hosing down the ships hull opposite the magazines.

SDFD withdrew, but the USN damage control teams are still onboard, still fighting.

That's what they do.

There are two Burke class DDG's tied up on the other side of that pier.

===

No indications of any attempts to move other ships out of the area. Spill boom is still up.

Fire seems contained to the main hanger deck.

Won't know for sure for a while.

===edit: never mind. Large amounts of black smoke coming from aft.

Worst of the fire seems to be in the hanger deck, directly under the SAW systems.

*SAM* systems...

===

One or both of the Burke class DDG's on the other side of that pier are going to need repairs as well, from heat and smoke damages.

@Render

containment boom on the port side SOP, or for fuel dump mitigation?
