US Navy Gives a Whole New Meaning to Fire Boat

Naval stations are using untested electric-powered security boats thanks to the old green agenda. To save the Earth. Security contractors were fired when they refused to operate the untested boats. Remember when the flooding in Florida resulted in horribly intense EV fires when batteries encountered water? Some runaway EV fires topped 2000° F. Whole city blocks burned down to the water line.

An EV security boat sank. So they raised it. It started smoking. It smoked all day. Embarrassing. Then it burst into one of those super-intense battery fires that burn forever. The San Diego Navy Base lacks fireboat support. In 2020, the $1.2B USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) burned for four days there and was declared totaled. Civilian fireboats were ineffective in that fire.

Zumwalt-class destroyers use EV technology. What could possibly go wrong?

    How C-3P0 of you.

    Love how John Konrad's profile has been raised by the attacks on him. He is an asset this country needs at a critical time.
