“It was around June or July, I had just got off of watch so it was maybe 8 p.m.,” said Damage Controlman (DC) 2nd Class Jose Perez-Ortiz, a damage control fireman and member of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) at-sea fire party during the ship’s 2019 deployment. “The ship had just gotten out of the Suez Canal transit and we were on a straight shot home. I vividly remember emailing my family about being exhausted and excited to come home to some home-cooked food and mid-way through writing my email, I hear the bells go off for a class bravo fire [fuel fire] in the ship’s upper vehicle stowage.”
