A fire broke out in the engine room of the USNS Sgt. William R. Button (T-AK-3012, 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo class) at the end of March, causing her to lose propulsion about 24 miles (approx. 38 km) off the coast of Dauphin Island in the Gulf of Mexico. Four tugs took the ship to the Alabama Shipyard in Mobile.<\/p>\n

USNS stands for United States Naval Ship and is the ship name prefix for US naval vessels that are not in direct military service but are owned by the US Navy. The ship belongs to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) and is part of the Navy's Maritime Prepositioning Force. There were 53 people on board at the time of the fire. According to a statement from the MSC, the crew managed to fight the fire using the ship's own CO2 fire extinguishing system. The cause of the fire and the damage to the ship are still being investigated. No one was injured.<\/p>\n

The \"Button\" (205 metres, 44,000 tonnes) was built in 1986 by the General Dynamics Quincy Shipbuilding Division in Massachusetts and was taken into service by MSC in 2007.
