Well yeah off course. But I was thinking more along the line of say a missile hit into the hangar, or maybe just a bad accident or ordnance going off for some reason. If suppose there is only a single source of fire, whether or not they can get it under control fast enough to save the majority of the planes. Reason I'm asking is because some serious accidents on the flight deck have gone out of control before with large loss of planes. Inside the hangar with confined space and many planes together it should be tougher to combat a fire.
So in case of combat and there is a hit to the hangar, Is the carrier still operational with firefighting at the same time? Or they will have to drop everything else and attend to the fire first? Are there precedences of this occurring before in carrier history?
