🇺🇸A fire broke out on board the US destroyer "USS Zumwalt" (DDG-1000) of the "Zumwalt" guided missile class, resulting in the injury of three sailors; the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

It's impressive how inexplicable fires and internal accidents happen when US ships are near Iranian waters.
