Fire, Fire, Fire After refueling the first ship on the return trip, on 1 November 1 989, MONONGAHELA suffered a class bravo main space fire. In the early morning hours, with most of the Battle Group steaming in formation, a fire erupted in the fireroom directly adjacent to IB boiler. While the fire was small, and the heroic efforts of the on scene fire fighters and the ship ' s fireparty extinguished the fire in minutes, the damage was ex- tensive. MONONGAHELA was unable to continue on her own power. Several personnel suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns, but, quick thinking and adequate training prevented anyone from becoming seri- ously injured or killed. MONONGAHELA was also fortunate to be in company with the destroyer tender, USS SHENANDOAH. Before the smoke was even cleared and the space cooled down, SHENANDOAH personnel were aboard in mass to commence temporary repairs to the damaged fireroom. The majority of the fire damage was restricted to the electrical cables which passed between the fireroom and EOS (Enclosed Operating Sta- tion). MONONGAHELA ' s crew size increased 25% as electricians, technicians, and even firemen, joined the ranks to work day and night to effect repairs. Meanwhile, MISSISSIPPI rigged for towing and be- fore nightfall on 1 November, MONONAGHELA was underway on Nuclear Power! Providing power for the entire ship ' s load from only the emergency diesel generator, however, means that ventilation, galley and laundry equipment and even fresh water were now non-existent. After three days in this condition, on 4 November 1989, due to the unprece- dented accomplishments of the repair teams, MONONGAHELA was once again underway on her own power. All but a few of the repair per- sonnel were returned to their parent commands and MONONGAHE- LA set off for homeport, Norfolk, Virginia. Halfway across the Atlantic Ocean, both boilers were on the line supplying full power to all ship func- tions and propulsion. MONONGAHELA arrived home only one day after her originally scheduled return date. 3 ■ i ' bw % 4 ■ - '
