Description

This source provides a technical framework for preparing scientific and rational damage control plans aimed at maintaining a warship's "vitality". It critiques existing plans for being "divorced from reality" and calls for plans based on quantified risk assessments, such as precise flooding rates and fire extinguishing data. The authors advocate for a "planning–drilling–revising" cycle to ensure plans are simple, realistic, and streamlined for actual combat.
