I don’t recall any fire drills while I was on the ship. I’m sure they had them, as fire was one of the greatest dangers of being on a warship. We had extensive training in bootcamp on extinguishing fires on a ship.
We had numerous shipmates who could tell us about fires aboard ships. The most vivid one was from a shipmate who was aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in July 1967 when there was a major fire that killed 134 sailors and injured 161. (John McCain was almost caught in it, I was told.) I’m sure we had fire drills on the U.S.S. Chicago, but I don’t remember any of them. That’s what 50 years does to memories of the past. Here is a link to the Forrestal story:
