The AFFF system aboard CVN74 includes how many stations?

• A. The system includes 20 stations
• B. The system includes 18 stations
• C. The system includes 22 stations
• D. The system includes 24 stations

Answer: (A)

The number of AFFF stations reflects how many separate foam delivery points the system can feed from the control network. On CVN-74, the AFFF system is laid out with twenty independent stations, which provides coverage across the flight deck and hangar areas and allows simultaneous foam application to multiple zones while maintaining redundancy. Each station has its own control valve and interlocks, so you can isolate a problem in one area without losing foam capability elsewhere. The count twenty matches the ship’s installed configuration, ensuring the necessary reach and control for foam deployment.
