U.S. Navy Ship Fire in Japan Under Control After 12-Hour Battle

A fire broke out on the U.S. Navy’s USS New Orleans while it was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, and took 12 hours to fully extinguish. The Japan Coast Guard provided assistance during the operation, with a ship spraying water on the burning vessel. Two sailors were reported to have sustained minor injuries, and the ship’s crew will remain on, board for further investigation and safety checks.
