This footage shows the USS George Washington aircraft carrier in a strange cloud that appears almost like a force field. The ship, however, is actually undergoing testing of its "aqueous film-forming fire suppression system."
So they're protected by their AFFFSS? Got it.

The PFAS in the AFFF is unpleasant stuff. It takes a fairly high exposure to have any significant odds of long-term health effects, but it has a serum half-life of 4-5 years, so cumulative intake can get high. It's been linked to elevated cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, hypothyroidism, testicular cancer, kidney cancer, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. It's better than burning, but it's not ideal.

Default Sinking a destroyer

Operation Trident Fury: Canadian and United States Navy forces converge for live fire exercise to sink the HMCS Huron.

Info on HMCS Huron

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Huron_(DDG_281)

Despite being damaged by HMCS Regina with a Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile, 57 mm gunfire and CIWS rounds, it was 76 mm naval gunfire from its twin Algonquin that was responsible for sinking the hulk of Huron.
