Ten sailors were injured in a fire on the Royal Navy's flagship aircraft carrier.

As a result of a fire that occurred on the flagship warship of the British Navy, HMS Queen Elizabeth, ten sailors sought medical help. The flames that engulfed the aircraft carrier destroyed about 100 beds.

A warship worth about three billion pounds (more than $3,8 billion) caught fire while docked in Glenmullan, on the shores of Scotland's Loch Long. As a result of the incident, the death of military personnel and the explosion of ammunition were avoided.

However, it later emerged that ten sailors sought medical help after flames engulfed the ship's crew's living quarters. According to preliminary data, the fire started in the air conditioning unit of the aircraft carrier.

According to the British publication The Sun, the order to clear the lower decks of the ship came after a fire broke out and the crew gathered in the hangar. At the same time, the publication notes that many off-duty sailors were intoxicated on Friday evening. The fire was extinguished using automatic systems.

The aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth has arrived at a Scottish dock where necessary repairs will be carried out. It is expected that the ship will be replaced by its sister aircraft carrier, the warship HMS Prince of Wales, while it undergoes repairs.

A series of incidents involving ships of the once powerful British fleet, led to the fact that London will not be able to fully support its allies in confronting the Yemeni Houthis in the Red Sea.

The first to express regret and sympathy to England were the Yemeni Houthis.

[AVA77]

So, better condolences for the loss of the queen.

This is a "condolence" from the Houthis, only with the next rocket

A fire on a ship, of course, is not an ordinary event, but it does happen.
But, what’s upsetting (the ship is English), the ship did not sink.
And, what’s good (it’s not the sailors’ fault that they have such a government), no one even died.
So all that can be said here is:

Some kind of unlucky ship, although it’s a pity that the BC didn’t take off, the torment of this aircraft trough would have ended...

I have to say: shouldn’t we give in to the park, according to information from the primary source, the whole situation is connected with low-quality counterfeit whiskey, the vapors of which ignite with the noble belching of Marymans taking to their chests!

You can’t say that about our long-suffering “Kuzya”. After all, he will soon have to prove that he does not burn and does not sink, like the floating dock in which he stood.

He'll be on his way soon. Steam turbines are the most reliable of the ship's power plant machines; the boilers were changed and recapitalized, extending their service life by 15-20 years. The rest depends on the discipline and training of the crew.

Loch Long is translated into Russian as Long Loch. It is not surprising that the long aircraft carrier burned down in this parking lot.

Oh, I see, it turns out there was a convention of drunken suckers on the ship

Long Lake. Translate until the end.

You're not good at irony at all.
Loch in Scottish means lake.
And in Russian, lokh is a sucker.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Another thing that surprises me is that they call their sea bays, which extend deep into the land, lakes. I found the town of Glenmallan on the maps, in the very depths of a narrow bay, and I don’t see a single decent pier or parking lot for an aircraft carrier there... What brought it there?

The warship is very surprised by the transfer of arrows to it

For an English ship. Traditions, sir. The scourge was abolished, but rum and sodomy remained.

Didn’t your mother teach you not to smoke in bed after drinking a liter?

It seems that English pirates now only work with large piles of scrap metal.

Maybe it was karma, of course, but it seems to me that there was a special intent to slightly damage the boat so as not to send it to dangerous places.

Agree. Most likely this was the case. An official excuse was needed

“A warship worth about three billion pounds sterling (more than $3,8 billion) caught fire while docked in Glenmullan, on the coast of the Scottish lake Loch Long."
Great sea power! It even holds aircraft carriers on lakes! Or, after all, not on the lake?

[Bolt cutter]

Still, not on the lake?

Yet not on a loch—Gaelic Loch denotes any large body of water, including a bay or estuary.

[Was mammoth]

"Yet not on a loch—Gaelic Loch denotes any large body of water, including a bay or estuary."
Just a joke, sir. I looked at the map first. The bay is narrow.
Well, at first I thought that an aircraft carrier had been sent to guard the Loch Ness monster. Still a national treasure.
However, they have discipline!!! No need for missiles. Just adjust the alcohol. Sabotage and not undermining.

[abrakadabre]

The following sentence is also excellent:

As a result of the incident managed to avoid the death of military personnel and the explosion of ammunition.

That is, as a result of the fire, death and explosions were avoided. Not as a result of automation or command actions... The author is a philologist with a capital letter.

What cunning asses! Let others fight the Houthis, but here we have a fire, you see...

Unlucky steamboats under the Katka estate.

[TermNachTer]

What makes the situation especially poignant is the fact that at that time the ammunition was being unloaded before docking. If the flame spread to the b/c, it would be absolutely wonderful. However, the ship goes into repairs for four years anyway. And during this time, a lot can change.

[tralflot1832]

Nicholas I watched the video for the article in the Sun. Two options. And the sailors had fun in a drunken stupor. B. The British built a cool “lighter”. The fire spread not along the corridors, but under the ceiling in the air ducts. Only what could burn burned - rags in the cubicles, mattresses. What kind of ventilation unit is this that continues to blow when there is a fire? And fighting a fire for 5 hours is a song, take the entire “bridge” to the stern and shoot, that is, give a bonus in liters to everyone - the captain of the fire victim - the admiral of His Majesty’s fleet and promote him to lords.

[TermNachTer]

Good day, Andrey. Yes, the situation is, to put it mildly, ambiguous. Apparently everything came together in a heap, including errors in design and construction, and a “no” crew. As far as I understand, this is now the main problem of the Britons. Serviceable ships are being taken out of service because there are no l/s. It’s a pity that the fire didn’t spread to the b/c, that would have been fun)))

[tralflot1832]

Nikolay, Lizka hasn’t started repairing yet. And with such sailors and a first mate, a welder can do such things. And my morning begins with “Pryntsa” - after all, they can distinguish themselves to the fullest, repeat the feat of their “grandfather,” so to speak.

[TermNachTer]

Lizka was supposed to become a capital aircraft, with the flight deck redesigned, this year. May be a little later. Now, in light of recent events, they could have delivered it earlier. She still needs to go to the dock.

[abrakadabre]

However, the ship goes into repairs for four years anyway.

And the drinking team will receive a salary all this time. Clever... Under such conditions, you can set yourself on fire.

[TermNachTer]

Well, I think that the Admiralty will not “stoop” to such baseness. The Britons have a concept called "half pay." And I think that the crew will quickly be “taken away” to other ships.

Have you ever been to the sea yourself?

[TermNachTer]

The question is not entirely clear. What is the connection with the sea? The sailors could also swell on the shore, there are two small towns nearby. I think there are a couple of pubs in each. Although you can also hide some booze on board.

It’s a pity that only 10 were injured, and it’s even more a pity that none of them died.

[mr.Man]

off-duty sailors were intoxicated on Friday evening

and had a barbecue...
Aviation fuel for ignition turned out to be too effective)

[Ross xnumx]

But I have only one question:
“Will the flagship turn into a barge if the missiles blow away those superstructures on the deck?”

[ShDE]

Laughed at Kuznetsov's chimney? Now it's our turn to make fun of the smoked queen

[opposite28]

The British are still in perfect order with their disinformation service. If only the new aircraft carrier didn’t go wrong course...

[Dva parovoza]

Air conditioners again...

[bone1]

How are they without beds even after drinking?

[ShDE]

They will also sleep in hammocks in shifts.

"...were in a state of intoxication on the occasion of Friday evening." Very interesting! It turns out that not only in Russia Friday is a weekly holiday. I think that Sir Francis Drake and Admiral Horatio Nelson are indignant at the current sailors of the "Mistress of the Seas." Or, rather, the former mistress.

Friday evening is sacred! And if you’re off duty, it can make things worse!
