Reports  from  the  repair  parties  are  carefully checked in DCC/CCS. This is done so that immediate action can be taken to isolate damaged systems and to make  effective  emergency  repairs.  As  reports  are received, graphic records of the damage are made on damage control diagrams and status boards under the direction of the DCA. For example, reports on flooding are used to update the status boards showing the liquid distribution  (fuel  and  water)  before  the  damage occurred.  With  this  information,  the  stability  and buoyancy of the ship can be estimated and necessary corrective measures taken. In the unlikely event DCC/CCS is destroyed or is unable to retain control, a plan is in place to designate repair  stations  to  take  over  the  responsibilities  of damage control central. REPAIR PARTIES The following chart shows a variety of repair lockers that are found on an aircraft carrier. All ships have a minimum of repair lockers 2, 3, and 5. Each locker has an officer or senior petty officer in charge. The makeup of each repair party in these lockers depends on the type of ship and the area they serve. Repair Party Personnel For  a  repair  party  to  control  battle  damage effectively,  PQS-qualified  personnel  are  assigned  to specific functions and duties. Some personnel may have more than one assignment, depending on the number and qualifications of personnel available. Repair party personnel must know their own area of responsibility along  with  the  areas  of  other  repair  parties.  The following functions are common to all repair parties: Make repairs to electrical and communication circuits and rig casualty power. Give first aid and transport injured personnel to battle  dressing  stations  without  seriously reducing the party’s damage control capabilities. Detect, identify, and measure radiation dose and dose rate intensities. Decontaminate  the  affected  areas  of  nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks. Identify, control, and extinguish all types of fires. Control and remove flooding water. Evaluate  and  correctly  report  the  extent  of d a m a g e   i n   t h e   r e p a i r   p a r t i e s ’   a r e a   o f responsibility, to include maintaining— — Deck  plans  showing  location  of  CBR contamination, location of battle dressing s t a t i o n s , c a s u a l t y c o l l e c t i o n a n d decontamination stations, and safe routes to them. — Graphic  display  boards  showing  damage and  action  taken  to  correct  disrupted  or damaged  systems,  using  standard  DC symbology and plotting techniques. Make  emergency  repairs  to  various  piping systems. Be familiar with all damage control fittings in the  assigned  area,  such  as  watertight  doors, hatches,  scuttles,  ventilation  systems,  and various valves. Control and clean up hazardous material spills. 12-7 Student Notes: Repair Locker Location or Function Repair 1 Main deck repair Repair 2 Forward repair Repair 3 After repair Repair 4 Amidships repair Repair 5 Propulsion repair Repair 6 Ordnance Repair 7 Gallery deck and island structure Repair 8 Electronic casualty control
