Abstract:

A series of manned damage control DC tests using Fleet personnel was conducted onboard the ex-USS Shadwell during 16 to 25 September 1998. The tests served as the baseline demonstration for the Damage Control-Automation for Reduced Manning DC-ARM program and as the first multirepair party exercise in the Integrated Survivability Fleet Evaluation ISFE test series. The DC-ARM program is developing and demonstrating technology to enable significant reduction in DC manning by automating selected DC functions. The ISFE program has been investigating improvements in DC doctrine, organization, and procedures to enable reduced DC manning and improve DC performance.
