edwinchester Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 From a previous report of the incident. "Police say sparks erupted in the anchor windlass room prior to the explosion, which resulted in a fire that was confined to that room." Maybe the Navy should ask the Police for a clue.

hotchilli Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Sparks from an anchor windless in a sealed room? More like leakage or fumes will be the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
