Not mentioned in the linked article is the fact that the Ford previously had issues with its toilets, with reports that some may have been clogged deliberately by sailors throwing T-shirts into them. Not a happy ship, if true.
I can't say that I would blame them a damned bit, either.
That ship has has various issues, but *all* vessels do, at first
Making sure the heads work properly *before* deploying would seem to be a priority, but that's just me. It's a good thing **every** sailor onboard is trained in fighting fires.
A regular fire is plenty dangerous and unpredictable.
A fire at sea is terrifying.
Well, that says something about the morale onboard. Perhaps more floggings are needed?
