All testing was conducted in the port wing-wall of the SHADWELL which has been modified to simulate the forward compartment of a 688 Class submarine. The full-scale submarine ventilation doctrine fire testing was conducted as part of the Submarine Fire Safety Improvement Program. This test program was intended to provide the technical and scientific basis for changes and improvements to the Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM) 555, Volume 2. The objective of this series was to evaluate the response of the fire fighters to various underway fire scenarios with respect to the overall tenability conditions, particularly in the Control Room. The effect of various ventilation alignments to improve fire fighting conditions and Control Room tenability was also evaluated. Auxiliary Machine Room (AMR) and Laundry fire scenarios were used in the manned fire fighting tests to investigate improvements to doctrine, tactics, procedures and equipment. The use of portable extinguishers, hose reels and hand lines, combined with ventilation doctrine, was assessed in terms of Control Room tenability as well as fire suppression effectiveness. 收起
