BATTLE ORGANIZATION Learning Objectives: When you finish this chapter, you will be able to— Recognize  the  battle  organization  of  damage control parties. Recall the location and contents of shipboard damage control lockers. The battle phase starts when the ship has received actual damage. The DCA coordinates the efforts of the repair  parties  from  damage  control  central  (DCC). These  efforts  may  include  fighting  fires,  flooding, controlling  the  ship’s  stability,  and  repairing  battle damage. Repair party personnel also use CBR defense measures (CBR is covered in chapter 13). PURPOSE OF THE BATTLE ORGANIZATION Once the ship has been damaged, the ship’s damage control battle organization is responsible for restoring the ship to as near normal operation as possible. The organization varies somewhat from one ship to another, depending on the size, type, and mission of the ship. However, the same basic principles apply to all battle organizations. The DCA is responsible, under the engineer officer, for  the  ship’s  survivability  systems.  The  DCA’s responsibilities include control of damage; control of stability, list, and trim; fighting fires; restoration from damage;  medical  casualty  response;  and  CBR countermeasures. The battle station for the DCA is DCC. The primary damage control battle organization units are repair parties or teams. Battle dressing stations (satellite medical stations) should be located near the repair parties. DAMAGE CONTROL CENTRAL/CENTRAL CONTROL STATION The primary purpose of damage control central (DCC) is to collect and compare reports from various repair stations to determine the ship’s condition and the corrective action to be taken. DCC is the nerve center and  directing  force  of  the  entire  damage  control organization.  Personnel  from  various  shipboard divisions man DCC. On newer class ships, the central point for reporting is the central control station (CCS). The CCS has the added capability of being able to control the closing of fire zone (FZ) doors and certain valves electronically. Also, CCS can remotely activate fire-fighting systems. 12-6 Student Notes:
