Even that doesn't matter. MAYBE it did back in the POTS days, but not
now.

I hate netkkop wanna be retards. The only thing they succeed in
getting from their wanna be is the 'retard' part.

Yes, they are, and that does not guarantee that they will or did, and
that is why the Coast Guard has done examinations... FOR DECADES.

Actually, such inspections are an annual exercise, and for all we know,
it just came up on the CG normal schedule.

There are plenty of rag piles on a barge on a mission to collect highly
flammable materials. Sure, Bub.

Not only that, but on such a vessel there is going to be NO ignition
sources present at all.

And if there IS a spark, it will likely result in an explosion, not a
fire. The fumes from that stuff are wild and wooly.

So then lets just not equip them with fire extinguishers. Right?

I wouldn't let you take a row boat out in a pond.

If you are so goddamned stupid that you think that they would have ZERO
extinguishers, you should go marry John Larkin, or the other retard, KRW.

I probably know more about boating and the sea than you ever will.
