림팩 2022에 참가하고 있는 페루 해군의 코르벳 CC-28 BAP Guise함의 기관실에서 화재가 발생해 부상당한 승조원 2명이 프랑스 해군의 F731 FS 프래리알함에서 파견된 헬기로 구조된 뒤 치료중입니다. 

세이프가드급 구조인양선 T-ARS-51 USNS Grasp가 진주만에서 출항했습니다. 기동능력을 상실했을 수도 있을 것 같네요.

This story has been updated to include a statement from the Peruvian Navy. 

At least two people were injured in a fire that burned for several hours on a Peruvian warship participating in RIMPAC 2022, a Navy official said Sunday.

A statement from the Peruvian Navy identified the ship as BAP corvette Guise (CC-28).

A fire broke out in the engine room at 8 a.m. local time and was extinguished by 1:40 p.m., Cmdr. Sean Robertson, RIMPAC spokesperson, said in a statement.

Two personnel, in “critically stable” condition, were evacuated from the Combined Task Force surface vessel by a French helicopter from frigate FS Prairial (F731), Robertson said. They were taken to U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Midgett (WMSL-757) then to carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and then to shore.

The two crew members suffered burns and are being treated at a Honolulu hospital, according to the Peruvian release. The Peruvian Navy has started an investigation into the fire.

U.S. Safeguard-class rescue and salvage ship USNS Grasp (T-ARS-51) left Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, according to ship spotters. RIMPAC officials would not confirm‎ if Grasp was dispatched to assist the stricken ship.

According to July 13 images released from the Navy, Midgett and Prairial had been operating in a surface group with Guise and Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Chafee (DDG 90) and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG-101).
