To clarify "three prong", I mean it has a power cord with a plug at the end that has three prongs. The two normal prongs "where one prong sometimes is a little wider at the head than the other prong", and the third cylindrical prong. Oh yeah, this is for an American application. I know that other countries have their own variations but I am interested only in the American application. That third prong on wire plugs are a safety device provided to prevent users of an electric/ electronic device from receiving an electric shock, should the chassis of the device become electrically charged. On Naval ships it is mandatory that an iron have these plugs but unfortunately I have been unable to find any. I no longer desire to use the "community irons" provided to us on the ship. PLEASE HELP!
