Promotional web banner for Naval History and Heritage Command publication “Case Studies in Damage Control.” Written by a team of NHHC historians and edited by Jon S. Middaugh and Tyler A. Pitrof, this publication captures the U.S. Navy’s damage control efforts from 1937 to 2000, as well as two Royal Navy examples from 1982. Detailed within six chapters are a variety of instructive scenarios, including responses to unexpected air attacks, incessant waves of kamikaze strikes, horrific fires on aircraft carriers, missile attacks, mine strikes, and terrorist bombings. Collectively, the accounts demonstrate how far inspired leadership, intense training, proper equipment, and personal courage can go toward saving a ship.
