Based on the analysis of the experience of fighting for the survivability of ships (boats, vessels) of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during the repulse of russian aggression against Ukraine, the article outlines the problems related to ensuring the survivability of ships. Of the many identified problems of ensuring the survivability of ships, the authors of the article focused on solving the problem of ensuring the operability of standard ship fire extinguishing systems during a complete blackout and at the same time the lack of access of the crew or emergency rescue team to these systems and controls. The search for simple, reliable and economically feasible technical solutions for the modernization of existing ship fire extinguishing systems or the search for innovative technical solutions for this class of systems, which have been tested in the maritime industry, determined the relevance of this study. The authors of the article, during the study of standard shipboard fire extinguishing systems using the comparison method and the Plus/Minus/Interesting methodology, identified reserves that can be used to ensure the operability of these systems in conditions of complete de-energization and at the same time the lack of crew access to these systems and controls. After the completion of the study of schematic solutions of various ship fire extinguishing systems, the authors of the article outlined the main directions for solving the problem of ensuring the operability of fire extinguishing systems in conditions of complete de-energization. Separately, the directions of the solution for new ships and during the modernization of existing ship fire extinguishing systems have been formalized. In the conclusions and prospects for further research, the directions for ensuring the operability of ship fire extinguishing systems in the conditions of active opposition of the enemy and in the absence of personnel are clearly formulated.
