Now is the Time to Break the Silence — 9/11 whistleblower Coleen Rowley & Lt. Col. Anthony Aguila
The US Navy had another fire on one of their ships this past August near Okinawa.
The USS New Orleans, which is one of the two ships currently bringing a couple thousand Marines towards Iran, had a fire on multiple decks which took the Japanese Coast Guard at least 12 hours to fight, and injured two (or “several”) sailors.
“Another defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details about the ship, said the fire appeared to be contained to the middle decks near the ship’s bow,” Military Times had also reported on Tuesday, which is in line with the Navy’s latest statement. “The official added that multiple decks had been affected, without specifying how many decks were burned.”
The fire first broke out at about 4:00 PM local time on Aug. 20 and was extinguished at approximately 4:00 AM local time on Aug. 21, according to the Navy. The Japan Coast Guard separately told multiple news outlets that firefighting activities continued until 9:00 AM local time.
I didn’t find any updates on what caused the fire.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation

Have another double shot of Johnny Walker!
P.S. I once escorted 24 bottles of Johnny Walker from Moscow to Siberia! The Russia ground crew insisted that it needed to go in the cabin, so it wouldn’t freeze!
