It ignited fuel filters and rags in the steering flat and destroyed the steering stand, aft vector drives, sprinkling pump X-fmr, and melted all wiring in the space. The ship was due to leave the yard on the 20th, but it will not be going anywhere soon. At the moment this is the fault of the yard doing hotwork in the dock with no fire watch inside the vessel.

They are the Charlton, Sisler, Soderman, Watson, Watkins,Red Cloud, Pomeroy and the Dahl. They are referred to as " The Watson Class LMSR's" since the Watson was the first hull laid of the eight. They differ from the Bob Hope class in many ways, maily the propulsion. The Bob Hopes are diesel powered while the Watson class is Gas Turbine Powered. I have worked on these vessels and let me tell you, it is amazing that the fire was contained. This area is immedialtely aft of the engine room and adjacent to a chemical storage room. Bravo Zulu to the ship's crew andfire fighters who responded to the scene. It goes to show you the importance of properly executing a hot work permit and having a stationed firewatch, sometimes in more than one location. There are actually 8 of these types of ship.
