The Coast Guard Cutter Gloucester hoses down the burning Super Daunty VII whale watch boat, which later burst into flames and sank off Eastern Point , Mass., Saturday, August 9, 1997. All 150 hands were rescued. The Coast Guard firefighters' rating is damage controlman (DC)--a rating that can be likened to a "Jack of all trades." DCs acquire skills in such diverse areas as firefighting, carpentry, chemical, biological and radiological warfare defense, welding, and small engine maintenance and repair.
