A few years ago on "Nationwide" if I remember correctly, they did a feature on the Naval services training, and one of the aspects was fire fighting.
I was just wondering as regards such an emergency situation, god forbiding it would ever happen, what kind of procedures are in place to combat it, like is there assigned crew on board who are trained with hoses or is everyone trained in fire fighting? Is helecopter winching from the the different ships decks practised every so often to make sure it would be a slick enough affair if push came to shove?
Sorry, its a dumbass question, but the atlantic is such an obviously hostile environment I'm just wondering how the crew could cope in an emergency on rough seas and whether the naval service and air corps (as well as the coast guard) are well enough equipped and trained to respond in time and if not what you'd like to see changed...
