 USS Ford Heads To Greek Port Days After Fire That Raged For Over 30 Hours: Report

Greek media says an investigation will take place and will examine the possibility that US sailors on board the carrier deliberately caused the fire

Washington’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, is returning from the Red Sea to the Greek island of Crete for refueling, and to probe the recent fire which erupted on board the ship days ago, Greek media reported on 17 March.

“The ship will return for refueling, but possibly also for an investigation into the large fire that broke out aboard the vessel,” a source told Greek outlet Kathimerini. The carrier had spent days resupplying at Crete’s Sousa Bay Base just before the war started.

“One scenario being examined is that the blaze may have been deliberately caused by crew members to terminate their extended mission,” the report added.

The massive fire broke out on the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier on 12 March, leaving hundreds of US Army soldiers without beds, according to a new report by the New York Times (NYT).

NYT reported on 16 March that the fire took more than 30 hours to extinguish. Dozens on board were subjected to smoke inhalation, while over 600 had their beds destroyed as a result of the fire, which began in the ship’s laundry area.
