This post provides one possible design for the organization, technology, training, staffing, and resources to manage the risks of shipboard fire. It is not THE answer, just one of many possible answers.
This post is a continuation of my observations from the USS BONHOMME RICHARD fire. It is a decision exercise rooted in High Reliability Organizing (HRO). How would YOU design the organization, technology, training, staffing, and resources to manage the risk of foreseeable occurrences like a shipboard fire?
BLUF: My observations about errors in the standard helm commands and courses to station in the movie Greyhound. Standard helm commands are one way the U.S. Navy maintains high reliability in ship control.
There are few facts available about the fire aboard the USS BONHOMME RICHARD (LHD 6), but lots of assumptions and opinions. This post provides an HRO introduction to the fire. It starts with the basic facts associated with Navy ship fire safety. It continues with some observations causes of serious shipboard fires. It concludes with the need to treat shipboard fire safety as a system.
