Larger vessel used in tests was marine boiler shell of about 200 cu ft capacity, and smaller of 66 cu ft; pentane and oil mists were used; striking feature was occurrence of loud humming noises of changing pitch soon after initial explosion; space restrictions in main engines prevent really satisfactory flame suppression.
