A discussion of fire phenomenology pertaining to ships is presented. It draws on background from ship fires, combat ship construction characteristics and scientific knowledge developed for building fires. Its immediate goal is to assess the prospect of developing a deterministic (physics) model for ship fire growth as initiated by explosive weapon effects. A specific analysis of vented explosion flows is given as well as a procedure for computing fire growth phenomena from formulae.
