DAMAGE CONTROL SHORING CHEST Each repair station has a damage control shoring chest  (fig.  12-15).  The  chest  is  divided  into  three compartments  to  separate  the  different  tools  and materials needed for shoring. REVIEW 8 QUESTION Q1. Describe the purpose of the following items. a. Damage control shoring chest b. P-100 pump c. Firefighter ensemble d. Anti-flash clothing e. Fire hose station SUMMARY A ship lives or dies depending on its crew’s ability to  combat  a  wide  range  of  casualties,  and  these casualties  are  not  restricted  to  times  of  conflict. Casualties can occur while moored in your homeport, at anchorage overseas, or during a routine peacetime deployment.  The  requirement  for  every  person  on board, from the commanding officer to the fireroom messenger, to have a good, basic knowledge of damage control procedures and constant training and drills in combating  shipboard  casualties  is  essential  to  the ship’s  survival.  This  training  and  preparation demonstrated  during  the  Persian  Gulf  crisis  saved several U.S. Navy ships that sustained considerable damage. If these crews had not been trained in damage control, these ships and most likely a large portion of their crews may have been lost. The  proper  use  of  the  closure  log  is  just  as important as knowing how to don an OBA or use a fire hose. The business of damage control is serious. Learn it well; your life, the lives of your shipmates, and your ship depend on it. REVIEW 1 ANSWERS A1. The damage control organization is divided into the— a. Administrative organization b.
