But you say, "Battery fires only require water."

So we have a burning ship in the middle of the ocean, which I suspect is mostly water, and they can't put it out. What's wrong with this picture?

What ship, and what fire are you talking about???  You don't use water on gasoline fires.  You use water on lithium-ion battery fires.  Gasoline fires require foam.  Water just floats the gas on top, spreading around on a river of fire.

They use CO2 on cargo ships.

Are these the same news sources that lied about only 25 EVs on board?

The news was reported from what they were told.  Why does that make it a lie, rather than a mistake by someone?

I'm questioning the trustworthiness of the news sources. I don't care if they lied or spread someone's lies or mistakes accidentally or intentionally, without proper fact-checking.

I am also skeptical of the rumor that it was a gasoline fire that couldn't be extinguished with the ship's CO2 fire extinguishers for an entire week.

You are free to be as skeptical as you want.
