- Abstract
- As a result of the South Atlantic campaign, Operation Corporate, the need to review fire fighting procedures was apparent. To be effective against anti-ship missiles, the old concept of fire fighting must be replaced by fully automatic fire "suppression". It would consist of an integrated detection and extinguishing system.
