Another fire at the UDC of the US Navy: repairs of the USS "Kearsarge" are suspended in Norfolk

In the United States, repairs to the USS "Kearsarge" (LHD 3) multi-purpose landing ship were stopped after a minor fire on board. According to Defense News, the US Navy command demanded a detailed investigation of all the circumstances of the incident.

The US Navy has requested an immediate halt to repairs to the Wasp-class Kearsarge UDC at the General Dynamics shipyard in Norfolk following a fire that occurred during repairs on board. Although the resulting fire was minor and was quickly extinguished, the command of the American fleet intends to investigate all the circumstances of the incident, since a week ago, under similar circumstances, a similar UDC "Bonomme Richard" almost burned down.

The fire on board the Kearsarge UDC reportedly occurred during welding: a spark hit flammable materials that ignited. The staff quickly coped with the fire, the help of the fire brigades was not required. Nevertheless, repair work on the USS "Kearsarge", as well as all other ships at the General Dynamics shipyard in Norfolk, have been suspended indefinitely.

We must ensure that all established fire safety protocols and procedures are followed

- said the spokesman for the command of the United States Navy Rory O'Connor

When work will be resumed at the UDC USS "Kearsarge" (LHD 3), which got up for repair at the end of 2019, is not reported.

I'm afraid to assume that the time is right for the fire and the departure of the Virginia-class nuclear submarine to the bottom ... followed by an explosion in the torpedo compartment of the Ohio-class nuclear submarine ...

excuse me, is it the same one that burned last week or the second one? it looks like they got a pyromaniac there

You are wrong, there is a difference. The rules of the Russian language matter here. God is written with a capital letter when it means a single supreme deity. In colloquial speech, when using stable expressions like "thank God"; "for God's sake"; "God knows" God is written with a small letter.

I can understand you.
Until I was 40, I was not interested in the topic of Vera. Absolutely.
Then various serious events took place in my life.
And 7 years later I was baptized.
Before that, I had been preparing for several years. To get answers to many questions and take further steps, understanding exactly why and why I need it.
Anyone who has gone a similar path can understand me. Therefore, I am not calling anyone to anything.

They work without a spark. Very sorry.

There was a UDC in the dock under repair.
Everything was fine, but only for now
Suddenly, suddenly a fire broke out -
The welder Anvar works smartly.

The nuclear submarines are waiting for their turn
Can comprehend their sad destiny.
If Anwar can't handle him there
Kamal and Hakim are working together.

There are many different brigades in Norfolk,
Each has its own ...
"Welding specialist".

Come on, there are women. There are no skilled workers left. All literate and not very literate, went to lawyers, economists and sociologists. Whom to repair? So they recruit by ad, various Latinos and blacks, without education, who wanted to sneeze on safety measures. (no, I was wrong, blacks do not work in the states now, they cannot, this is discrimination)

Not. Everything is simpler. There is a procedure for admission to hazardous work. It looks something like this. In the morning, before the shift, the foremen gather in the room where the duty officer who is responsible for the safety of a group of compartments sits (or what is it correctly called in the fleet?). And admission begins.
The foremen take turns and report where they will work today and what to do. The officer, knowing his compartments, imagines how and what can be done there without endangering the ship. For example, everything has to be closed with a felt blanket at once, there are enough several working fire extinguishers, there is a blowdown with carbon dioxide, etc. “And I don’t believe you, John Smith, you tried to deceive me yesterday, said that you covered the insulation soaked in oil with a felt mat, but in fact didn’t cover it up. ". Having received the signed orders, the foremen disperse to work, and the officer begins to walk around their workplaces with a check whether they all, swinging, are observing enough.
An excellent system, we once copied it from the Americans. It is based on the fact that an officer can arrange a big kaku for the brigades if they cut off. And he is interested in good repair, his ship, then he will be raked, so he will not foolishly pinch people either. And all this collapses instantly if the repair is purchased. The brigadiers then do not care about the officers, they drive the shaft with the hands of unskilled, drunken, often stoned hard workers, not paying attention to anyone. Well, here it is burning ...

It looks like this is already a systemic problem of the US Navy. They are losing the culture of production. To prevent fires, I propose to use the know-how of "Uzbek welding" or on the extreme "blue tape". Only blue other colors will not work.

I read it, good analysis. It is useful in everything and for us.

We shouldn't be happy - after all, the state of the Russian Navy is much worse. But even in this case, we can derive some benefit from the difficulties of the US Navy. The main thing is to see the growing phenomena in the US Navy in time and use them wisely.

You may not need to rejoice, but you do not need to be sad either. After all, all their pluses minus us.

I want to be a welder on American boats

[tralflot1832]

It is not necessary to weld, the main thing is to have more sparks. The main requirement when applying for a job at the American Miracle Shipyard Do you meet this requirement?

[Charik]

current power 200A and raw electrodes + cables without winding + plus or minus from bolts + holder from corrugated reinforcement + this is my everything

[tralflot1832]

You are accepted send a questionnaire to any American miracle shipyard. Pass on your innovative experience to American "gas cutters". With your entry to work, the combat readiness of the Navy will increase significantly.

[Charik]

about the questionnaire, I don’t really know English, only fakyu shipbuilding

[Charik]

but I do not know how to weld, only cut by welding

[tralflot1832]

Without reading your second post, I assigned you to Gas Cutters. That's what the northerners mean.

[Charik]

electric cutter - electric welding burn holes for crane hooks - to make the deck easier to remove

[tralflot1832]

Yes, you have the talent of a shipbuilder.

And be sure to be a smoker

[Charik]

I hope to pour kerosene on it is not a prerequisite

[K-50]

the fire on board the "Kearsarge" UDC occurred during welding: the spark hit the combustible materials, which ignited.

It is obvious - violations of safety standards during welding, at the point to provide a place for the work and clean it of flammable objects and materials.
The most frequent violation and with us as well.
