If its anything like the USN systems, it will pump seawater, which if needed can be mixed with a chemical solution to suppress fire.

I don't know.

There are 2 'types' of washdown. Bio decontamination and fire suppression and freshwater cleaning. The one here is the former which is seawater mixed with afff. Aqueous film forming foam.

How will they do that without also flooding the dock for the 3 less advanced hulls?
