The U.S. Marine ship 'New Orleans' has successfully navigated a challenging night off the coast of Japan, following a fire that broke out on board. The incident occurred near the marine base White Beach, with the ship anchored off the southern island of Okinawa.

The 208.4-meter-long and 24,433-tonne amphibious transport ship, a vital part of the U.S. military's fleet, has remained manned by its crew throughout the ordeal. The ship is one of many U.S. military installations in Japan, with approximately 54,000 personnel stationed across the country, the majority of them based on Okinawa.

The Japanese Coast Guard confirmed that the U.S. military had initially requested assistance, withdrawn the request, and then renewed it regarding the fire aboard the U.S. Marine ship 'New Orleans'. Four Japanese ships, including Coast Guard, Navy, and private company vessels, were involved in fighting the fire overnight.

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished after 12 hours, and no casualties or further details about the extent of the damage have been reported. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, with the entity responsible for the investigation not specified in the available search results.

This incident serves as a reminder of the close cooperation between the U.S. and Japan in military affairs, particularly in times of crisis. The swift response from the Japanese Coast Guard and other vessels highlights the strong alliance between the two nations.

As the investigation into the cause of the fire continues, the focus now shifts to the recovery and repair of the 'New Orleans'. The U.S. military and Japanese authorities will work together to ensure the safety of the crew and the ship, as well as to determine how such an incident occurred.
