- Abstract
- This document presents the real-magnitude fire testing program conducted on board the ex BLM "KERSAINT" between April and June 1984. The purpose of this program was to study the behavior of materials as well as the architectural measures to be retained on board combat vessels to improve their resistance to fire; this being in the two fold perspective of vessels in operation and those to be built.
