And yes, the poor burned hulk of a destroyer sank the next day.

There was a thread about this a while back - iirc, the fire levels were considerably higher (in the 200s??)

Do believe you get the burning crown of victory for the fire-ship contest.

So, if at 100% the ship is fully engulfed are we talking molten lava at 2700? See your ships didn't sink...they melted.

I don't think my sailors were too pleased with Admiral Chuck that day...

That wouldn't be a ship it would be a burning oil slick

I thought that fire ships went out with the advent of steel ships... any ship with fire levels this high should be affecting other ships in the same harbor!

If it gets hot enough, even steel will burn...

With fire level 2700+, it should be affecting other ships in the same OCEAN.

If we assume that fire level 100 (or 99) was meant to mean that anything that can burn, does burn, then fire level 2700 is enough to sent half the friggin´ Combinet Fleet to drydock for a year...
