US Navy warship loses power and propulsion after ‘electrical malfunction’

A U.S. Navy warship lost power and propulsion after suffering from an “electrical malfunction” while sailing in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command region. CBS News reported that a fire broke out aboard the USS Higgins on Tuesday. Cmdr. Matthew Comer, a spokesperson for the U.S. 7th Fleet, said in a statement to The Hill that the electrical malfunction may have produced “sparking or smoke that ceased once power was removed.” The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer experienced an “engineering casualty” to its “electrical distribution system,” he said. There were no injuries to the crew onboard and the power has been restored to the ship, which was commissioned in 1999, Comer added. Investigations of the incident are ongoing. The vessel, which carries about 300 sailors and is homeported in Yokosuka, Japan, lost power and propulsion for several hours, CNN reported, citing a Defense official.

this was not that uncommon back in 80a and 90s navy ships. one time we fired up grills and had a huge seafood cookout while we waited for power to be restored. it turned out OK.
but… with 2-300 other grumpy sweaty dudes, in the middle of the ocean, floating on a steel can, under a hot sun… things get ….musky… quick.
Was it like this?

glad im not inclinded to go on a giant petri dish anytime soon. you are just asking to get norovirus and covid from a cruise.
Meh…
They had an electrical fire and cut power and propulsion as a reaction to that…
That is not the same as an incident taking out power and propulsion, that’s just how you deal with electrical fires when there’s no other emergency

I’ve been called a lot of things, but that’s ridiculous.
“Just” as in two years ago? (Honestly probably closer to 3 I guess)

I banned an account that reported five non-rule brraling comments in five minutes, and replied to all of them trying to start slapfights.
A quick look at their profile showed they were the type of user that is incapable of letting anything go, they’d keep replying to the same threads for days having the same arguments and causing drama.
I had second thoughts for a very brief window, then they started spamming threads all, sending me DMs insulting me and my family in broken English, and banned me from a community I already had blocked.
Which is what I wanted to spare users of the community I moderated. And honestly? I should have done it long ago, I had that account on my blocklist for probably a very long time, I only took them off when I saw the report spam.
So yeah, I feel completely justified in removing users like that…
But like, you want to complain about moderation?
Go talk to the guy who can’t let anything go:

That’s the guy who started everything you just repeated
Edit:
But that’s as much as I’m gonna say about it, I’m not getting roped into another long re-litigation about banning a troll.

When was that posted? In the immediate aftermath of the Oct attacks and a short time afterward, this would have been a reasonable, if incorrect, statement. It was only months later that Isreal kept relaxing it ‘rules of engagement’ and then went on to direct bombing of civilians.
There where also huge issues on the uss ford aircraft carrier. Are we seeing incidents or a trend?
This isn’t really newsworthy. An incident occurred, they dealt with it appropriately, and things are running again now.
This sounds like a Friday.
Hopefully internal sabotage. No more [anything] for Israel
I hope it sinks to the bottom of the ocean with the rest of our murderous navy.
This song popped into my head suddenly….
