Talk:USS Jennings County (LST-846)/@comment-184.188.9.22-20161119195535

The Fire was started by a First Class Machinest Mate doing cutting on the bulkhead between the Main Engine room and the Auxillary engine room. He did not have a Fire Watch in the Auxillary Engine room and a Fire started behind the DC switchboard. This fire could not be contained and the entire Auxillary Engine room had to be flooded. A Coast Guard Ship came up the Delta to assist us in putting out the fire. From there we were towed to Subic Bay where we weer decomishioned AND SOLD FOR SCRAP.
