This is purely the fault of the Israel Navy Shipyard. There's only two ways for a pump (usually it's the motor portion) to catch on fire: loss of insulation to ground (avoided by "megger'ing") or bad bearings (avoided by periodic "inspect, lubricate, replace"). This fire is a "smoking gun" evidence that a shipyard electrician "gun-decked" (faked the paperwork) his routine Preventative Maintenance responsibilities.
3. Sarah B, was some idiot trying to start a bonfire on deck?

Someone did not obey safety rules or proper procedures. Could be operational or could be maintenance. The investigation will uncover all.
5. Get well soon!

I wish all the injured sailors a speedy recovery. Thank you for your service and dedication. Do what the doctors and nurses tell you!!!!

Maybe the Israelis should forget about building boats. Leave it to someone more competent.
