These tests show development and mitigation of Class B explosions aboard Naval ships. This consisted of three main points: (1) determining the conditions needed for developing a Class B explosion, (2) determining the effect of ship board conditions (e.g. buffer zone size and ventilation) on the development of Class B explosions, and (3) determining the effectiveness of using water spray as a mitigating tactic. Results that address all three points are discussed in detail.
