Do warships have automatic fire suppression outside galleys and small compartments?
Short answerSome aviation and other high-risk spaces have fixed suppression systems, although activation can require a command from a control centre.
NotesLarge aviation spaces and other high-risk compartments can have fixed fire-suppression systems. Fully automatic activation differs from systems that raise an alert and are switched on from a combat-information or damage-control centre. A later audience contribution describes a carrier hangar firefighting centre with armoured windows overlooking the hangar. Suppression can damage aircraft and electronics, but saving the ship takes priority when the choice becomes unavoidable.
