“Pardon me for asking, but isn’t the boat in a harbor, which is made of water, which puts out fires?”
The fire is all over the ship now. But if it starts to threaten the fuel bunkers then I would expect them to scuttle her and sink the ship at the pier. That would put a wall of water between the fire and the ships fuel reserves. But it would also all but condemn the ship to the scrapyard.

Hi. Just wanted to let you know the image I posted in # 2 is within the public domain. It came from Wikipedia not the news source.

An explosion would do that and worse.

I'm surprised you think that ship ISN'T scap-worthy as things stand now. That ship will most CERTAINLY be decommissioned and scrapped, 100%.
She's dead, Jim.

I think that ship is already headed to the scrapyard. She’s a gutted hulk now.
