A fire erupted Saturday evening on a Navy warship at BAE Systems' Norfolk Ship Repair facility, sending one sailor to the hospital.
The blaze broke out around 8 p.m. Saturday inside the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer Oscar Austin, which is undergoing extended maintenance work at the 109-acre facility along the Elizabeth River, according to Lt. Cmdr. Courtney Hillson, spokeswoman for Naval Surface Force Atlantic.
The destroyer’s crew began “aggressive damage control” to battle the fire but one sailor was transported to a local hospital, treated for smoke inhalation and then released, she said.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation and neither the Navy nor BAE has estimated the cost of the fire damage.
Contacted by Navy Times, BAE referred comment to Naval Surface Force Atlantic.
The Oscar Austin returned to its homeport at Naval Station Norfolk on Nov. 17, 2017, following a seven-month deployment to the areas of responsibility for the 5th and 6th Fleets.
Less than two months later, on Jan. 3, BAE Systems announced that it received a $41.6 million Navy contract to modernize the Oscar Austin, with the deal climbing to $117.1 million if all options were exercised.
The depot maintenance period involved dry-docking the 509-foot-long destroyer, upgrading the warship’s Aegis Combat System and conducting other repairs that would affect nearly every space aboard the vessel, BAE said.
Repairs were slated to be finished by February of 2019 and it’s unclear if the fire damage and ongoing probes will trigger delays.
Commissioned on Aug. 19, 2000, the warship pays homage to Marine Pfc. Oscar P. Austin, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his unparalleled courage under fire in 1969 during the Vietnam War.
Austin threw his body on an enemy grenade to shield a wounded Marine, absorbing the blast.
When a North Vietnamese soldier aimed his rifle to shoot the unconscious Marine, Austin turned his body to block the bullet, sacrificing his own life to save that of a fellow Marine, according to his award citation.

祸不单行!挪威军舰刚被撞沉，美军战舰又失火，宙斯盾舰麻烦不断
2018-11-16 13:35 驱逐舰 /军机 /美国
最近人们议论最多的军事类新闻就是挪威的南森级英斯塔号护卫舰，被一艘商船撞沉的消息了。挪威的英斯塔号护卫舰刚刚参加完北约的三叉戟-2018大型军事演习，就被一艘马耳他的油轮撞击，最后在海滩上坐底倾倒。这是这次演习中的第二次事故，第一起事故是一架法国的直升机摔在了西北风级的甲板上。
南森级最为出名的就是安装了美国的宙斯盾系统，世界上安装了宙斯盾舰的战舰都被称之为宙斯盾舰，宙斯盾系统是一套防御系统，自从宙斯盾系统出现后，还没有任何一艘宙斯盾战舰沉没。因此这艘英斯塔号护卫舰开创了历史，成为了第一沉没的宙斯盾舰。
本次撞击事故十分严重，南森级是5000吨级的战舰，与之相撞的是一艘13万吨的巨型油轮，英斯塔号被撞击出一个8×3米的大洞，致使6名船员受伤。在损管失败，战舰坐滩以后，舰长下令全体弃舰，这也是马岛战争之后，北约时隔36年来第一次下达这样的命令。
现在在事故的原因上再次引发了新的热点，都在说是俄罗斯干扰了GPS导致的事故，这和俄罗斯军机被击落埋怨以色列干扰了雷达是如出一辙。
就在挪威的撞船事件还没有解决完的时候，另一艘宙斯盾舰又出事故了。这次出事故的是一艘阿利伯克级的奥斯卡-奥斯丁号驱逐舰，该舰在诺福克军港的BAE系统公司的修船厂内进行维修时突发火灾，造成一名士兵受伤。
该舰是一艘阿利伯克2A型驱逐舰，舷号是DDG79,于2008年8月服役，是一艘相当新的战舰了，本次维修并不是出现了故障，而是对宙斯盾系统进行升级，提高战舰的战斗力和现代化水平。本次事故BAE公司和美国军方至今还没有给出具体的损害评估。
该舰发生火灾的时间是2018年11月10日，距离挪威撞船事故仅仅相隔两天，两天内连续有两艘宙斯盾舰突发事故，不禁让人想问，宙斯盾舰这是肿么了？
其实宙斯盾的厄运并非今年开始的，在去年宙斯盾舰也出了两起大事故。在去年的6月7日，美国阿利伯克级菲茨杰拉德号驱逐舰在日本海域被一艘菲律宾籍商船撞击受损严重，右舷被撞出一个8×6米的大洞,7名士兵失踪，3名官兵受伤。
同年的8月21日，另一艘阿利伯克级的麦凯恩号在马六甲海峡附近也被一艘商船撞伤，左舷严重受损，导致10名士兵失踪，另有5人在事故中受伤。经费本来就紧张的美国，修复这两艘船花费了数亿美元，而且事故的全责还是美国海军。
宙斯盾舰接连出事故，令人觉得很讽刺，拥有世界上最强的海上防御系统，却经常被意外事故所伤，是不是中邪了？其实这几起事故都是完全可以避免的，之所以发生正是因为美军的管理制度上存在很大的漏洞，美国的军方已经距离军纪严明越来越远了。
The disaster is not alone! The Norwegian warship has just been sunk, the US warship has lost fire, and the Aegis ship has been in trouble.

The most popular military news recently is the news of the Norwegian Nansen-class Insta frigate, which was sunk by a merchant ship. The Norwegian Insta frigate had just participated in the NATO Trident-2018 large-scale military exercise, was hit by a Maltese tanker, and finally fell to the bottom of the beach. This was the second accident in the exercise. The first accident was that a French helicopter fell on the northwest wind deck.
The Nansen class is best known for installing the Aegis system in the United States. The warships in which the Aegis ship is installed in the world are called the Aegis ship. The Aegis system is a defense system. Since the Aegis system appeared, there is no Any Aegis battleship sank. Therefore, this Insta frigate opened its history and became the first sunken Aegis ship.
The impact accident was very serious. The Nansen class was a 5,000-ton warship. The collision with it was a 130,000-ton giant tanker. The Insta was hit by an 8×3 m large hole, resulting in six crew members. Injured. After the failure of the damage, the ship commander ordered the entire ship to abandon after the battleship was on the beach. This was the first time since the Falklands War, which was issued by NATO in 36 years.
Now, the new hot spot has been triggered again in the cause of the accident. It is said that Russia has interfered with the accident caused by GPS. This is exactly the same as the Russian military aircraft being shot down and complaining that Israel interfered with the radar.
Just as the collision incident in Norway had not been resolved, another Aegis ship had an accident. The accident was caused by an Alibek-class Oscar-Austin destroyer that was fired during repairs at the BAE Systems Shipyard in Norfolk Junction, causing a soldier to be injured.
The ship is an Alibek 2A destroyer with the DTG79. It was commissioned in August 2008. It is a fairly new warship. This repair is not a malfunction, but an upgrade to the Aegis system. Improve the combat effectiveness and modernization level of the warship. The accident BAE and the US military have not yet given specific damage assessments.
The ship was fired on November 10, 2018. It was only two days away from the Norwegian collision accident. There were two consecutive Aegis ship accidents in two days. People couldn’t help but ask, is the Aegis ship swollen? What?
In fact, the aegis of Aegis did not begin this year. Last year, the Aegis ship also had two major accidents. On June 7 last year, the American Alibek-class Fitzgerald destroyer was severely damaged by a Philippine merchant ship in the Japanese waters. The starboard was knocked out of a large 8×6 meter hole and 7 soldiers were missing. Three officers were injured.
On August 21 of the same year, another Alibek-class McCain was also hit by a merchant ship near the Straits of Malacca. The port side was badly damaged, causing 10 soldiers to disappear and another 5 injured in the accident. . In the United States, where the funds were already strained, it took hundreds of millions of dollars to repair the two ships, and the entire responsibility of the accident was the US Navy.
It is ironic that the Aegis ship has successively caused an accident. It has the strongest maritime defense system in the world, but it is often injured by accidents. Is it evil? In fact, these accidents are completely avoidable. The reason for this is precisely because of the large loopholes in the US military's management system. The US military has become farther and farther away from the military discipline.
