According to a report from the American network CBS, citing several U.S. officials, a large fire broke out earlier this week on the USS Higgins, a U.S. Navy warship. The exact cause of the incident has not yet been officially released.
As a result of the fire, power was cut off in parts of the ship, and its propulsion systems were disrupted. This situation could affect the operational capability and combat readiness of the military vessel.
Reports indicate that this is not the first fire incident to occur on U.S. Navy ships. However, some sources suggest that many of these incidents have been accompanied by news restrictions, and full details are rarely made available to the public.
Military experts have previously warned about recurring technical and safety issues with some of the U.S. Navy’s naval equipment. This incident once again draws attention to the maintenance and safety status of the country’s naval fleet.
