Foreword by Admiral Henrique Eduardo Passaláqua de Gouveia e Melo, Chief of Staff of the Navy
"(...) the Damage Control Manual presented here is a practical and comprehensive guide, which meets the needs of those at sea. Intended for naval unit crews, this manual compiles: knowledge related to prevention and on-board organization, in normal conditions or in emergency scenarios; technical procedures for dealing with emergencies related to firefighting, flood control, stability maintenance, and recovery of critical systems; and procedures to be carried out in advanced emergency scenarios, such as helicopter crashes on the flight deck and submarine procedures."
