Naval Damage Control

Naval Damage Control involves the practices and procedures used on ships to prevent, manage, and repair damage caused by accidents, combat, or natural hazards. It includes identifying vulnerabilities, controlling fires, flooding, and other hazards, and restoring vital systems to keep the vessel operational. Skilled crews conduct actions like sealing leaks, repairing equipment, and maintaining safety protocols to ensure the ship's safety and mission readiness during emergencies. Essentially, it’s the onboard response system designed to protect personnel, preserve the ship's integrity, and enable continued operations despite damage.
