Two crew on the USS Gerald R. Ford — the world’s largest aircraft carrier currently deployed for the war against Iran — were injured Thursday in a laundry room fire, the US Navy said.

“Two sailors are currently receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition,” a statement from US Naval Forces Central Command said.

The Navy said the fire, originating “in the ship’s main laundry,” was “not combat-related and is contained.”
