Which consequence resulted from Byzantine navy fire ships nearing enemy vessels?

💡 Explanation

Fire ships closing in caused extremely rapid ignition because radiative heat transfer preheated enemy sails to their flash point. Rather than direct flames melting the hull, the high temperature alone sparked intense, uncontrollable fires; therefore intense radiative exposure led to complete wooden ship immolation.
