Oh, a fire ball. There is a video out there someplace showing one going through a diesel boat. Looks scary a hell.

The electricians in manuvering room would scare hell out of us engine room types, by telling us they would attempt to throw a hugh fireball and watch as it bounced around the engineroom. This threat would be announced to us as we went from series battery to parallel battery.
As a precaution, even tho we knew the electricians lied like hell, I hung out near the fwd engine rm hatch, just in case !!!
