Best Answer

Ships are isolated from the rest of the world. If something goes wrong, the crew has to fix it. Damage control deals with handling of emergencies that threaten the integrity of the ship. It is so important that the ship has a designated Damage Control Officer. It can be a fire, a hole in the ship or a collision.
