Review of Department of the Navy, Judge Advocate General's Surface Ship Fire Investigation Reports for the Period 1980 through 1986

Abstract

Ship fire loss data for the period 1980 to 1986 were developed by analyzing Department of the Navy, Judge Advocate General (JAG) investigation reports. The data were summarized using the Navy Fire Loss History Reporting Form which was used in a previous effort to summarize fire data from the period 1960 to 1979. This report outlines the summary technique, and presents recurring or common lessons learned. A total of 224 incidents were summarized including 190 surface ship fires, 6 submarine fires, 3 aircraft crashes on ships and 21 incidents of accidental fire extinguishing agent discharge. Summary reports for each incident will be presented in a subsequent report. Keywords: Judge advocate general; U.S. Navy; Fire investigation; Fire losses.
