There was a fire on a russian sub, too, recently.
And all those spiteful comments of in how bad a state the russian fleet would be in ..


While the fire is not out, the situation is improving,” Fuller said.
Hmm .. it is still burning now.

"Fuller said that the ship's reactor was not operating at the time of the fire and remained in a safe and stable condition throughout the event."

Of course the bow is far enough away from the reactor. And a reactor is always operating and has to be cooled, even with all rods in.

I wonder how such fires can start, i mean there must be some automatic fire control ?
I hope the six wounded get well, and there are no further problems.
