Following the missile attack on the USS STARK in the Persian Gulf, the Internal Ship Conflagration Control Program was initiated to assess the impact of a fire resulting from burning missile propellant in a shipboard compartment. To support this program it was necessary to 'design' a test fire which would simulate the post-flashover fire conditions in a shipboard compartment following a propellant burn. Initially, the problems were bounded using small scale testing in simulated shipboard compartments, and then further defined on the Navy full scale fire research and test ship, th ex-USS SHADWELL. A total of sixty fires were conducted in a simulated shipboard compartment to develop a design fire for full scale testing. The design fire was developed to approximate a 'worst case' post-flashover compartment fire. The design fire can produce average compartment temperatures of over 1000 C (1832 F) almost instantly. During this analysis, estimates on the likelihood and times for fire spread were also developed.
