In a steel boat of ship few people can afford electric cable made to
Military specifications.
The fire on board is not your worst enemy it is the fume produced by burning
electrical cabling insulation.

Been aboard a burning steel ship. Took 8 hours to put that fire out.

Painted steel burns amazingly hot.....
