US Navy orders General Dynamics NASSCO to stop work after small fire on USS Kearsarge
By: David B. Larter ? 16 hours ago
WASHINGTON � A rapidly extinguished fire aboard the amphibious assault ship Kearsarge prompted the Navy to issue a �stop work order� Friday to General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard in Norfolk, Naval Sea Systems Command told Defense News Saturday.
The incident started when a spark from welding landed on nearby material, which was then quickly put out by the fire watch. Fire watch is a sailor or contractor who stands nearby with a fire hose and/or extinguisher to stop a larger blaze in its tracks.
In a statement, Naval Sea Systems Command spokesman Rory O�Connor said the �stop work� was to ensure the company followed fire safety protocols.
