As a mere cadet i was aboard for Boxtop, Montreal to Thule. Interesting experience 1978. In those days the old WW2 barracks at Thule werent burnt down yet. We were behind US CG icebreaker, following a huge USN Sealift Command freighter. Seen a polar bear and walrus on the sea ice. Often the US military personnel at Thule reminded me of drunken villains in a spaghetti western. Not a healthy place for long living. USAF security police used 357s to eliminate any arctic fox they could see. yay.....

They should have activated the fitted system immediately. Read the BOI. Look how quickly the fire was extinguished after it was activated. They endangered matelots needlessly and loss the ship.

My frame is fine but the canvas seat was gone. Fixed mine with three velcro webbing straps back to front looped around the frame. Might need one strap looped side to side. The irony is that the straps used are the ikea mattress carry straps 😃 Thank you for the demo on how best to remove the staples and the old canvas seating support. 20+ years mine was well past repair and ripped.

Can't believe a millitary oiler doesn't have a fixed water mist or fixed CO2 system. Literally a prime target in a war and they can't fight a fire with non-destructive means. No mention of boundary cooling. Engineering officer complains of the heat melting her boots. Spray some water on the floor. Why is the emergency bus not seperate from the main bus? Literally no reason to have all your electrical generation capability burn up with a fire in one compartment. Emergency bus and all its feeds should be in the compartment with the emergency generator, seperated from the main bus by a tie breaker. It's literally a SOLAS requirement for commercial shipping. Who built this ship? The people in charge of deploying the fixed foam should be embarrassed. If the foam is going to damage equipment, why wait until all the equipment is destroyed by fire first. Just let the foam rip when headcount is complete and everyone is accounted for. How was the engineering department so clueless that someone can continue opening a steam stop when a turbo alternator literally sounds like it's going to explode. Where is the supervision or better yet, maybe keep the crayon eaters out of engineering? Who was in charge of warming through the steam turbines? Who let it warm unequally? How do crew in a steam engine room not understand that steam turbines need to be slow turned with a little steam for even heating before chucking full steam on them?

I'm proud to say I've cried like a baby watching this... Cried for the pride that I can say I've worn that uniform, sailed on her for years (Halifax), cried for the crew who did an amazing job saving her. Very proud....BZ I guess they've stopped using CHEMOX for fire fighting, no bottles to fill, pop a canister in and wait 10 seconds. they should have some in backup (my humble opinion, we learn from mistakes). Slept in 21 Port, by the exploding head. some back flow valve was defective and in rough weather the surge of the water would make the head explode with water, a bitch to clean all that salt once it stopped... Easy cleaning station to report though, the XO would shake his head every night and not even enter the compartment lol... Did they ever fix it? And a question only a few can answer... It's killing me... I see it... Doing rounds... turning keys... walking in the engine room... facing "Heatcliff" painted on one engine.... what was the name of the other?!? "Bertha"? Sorry, I was a Signalman and 25 years lol****** Edit: took me all day, but I finally found the answer in some gulf war footage, "Gertrude" was the name :) It's weird knowing that I've patrolled that place so many times to avoid something exactly like that from happening, and it actually happened, with a vengeance. HMCS Protecteur "The Chuckwagon" AOR-509, 30 August 1969-14 May 2015, a war vet that always brought us back home, even when she couldn't.

Those Chemox cartridges had a short lifespan and I recall that they didn't want us to immerse them in water! (What do you do when you're fogging yourself so that you don't catch fire in crap polyester work dress?) The catalytic reaction that produced the oxygen accelerated rapidly in water. I never dropped one in a bucket to find out. I just followed the advice that I was given. I question the safety of having a potentially explosive Chemox cartridge strapped to my chest while fighting a real fire.

I cried due to the incompetence of the command team. They should have hit the fitted systems at the beginning. That clown elbourne ended up losing the ship. He shouldn't be treated like a hero.
