Heat ignites fuel tanks

The Pacific night was lit by blue electric flashes.  The water glowed as if on fire.
Godzilla comes, Dr. Takado thought, and eeries calm descending on her.  It is karma.
Then fire ripped through the research ship as the fuel tanks ignited.  Crewmen and technicians were incinerated in the terrible heat.
Finally, a tremendous blast ripped through the ship, and it split into two burning pieces that quickly sank into the dark ocean like stones.  A row of jagged, irregular dorsal spines broke the surface briefly, then sank again as Godzilla swam away.
