World War II Damage Control

During World War II effective damage control measures became a necessity for ships damaged in action. These posters, produced by the Royal Navy and distributed throughout the Commonwealth, highlight some of the successes and failures of damage control in HM Ships. Many of the lessons learnt remain relevant today.

Researchers may wish to review these in conjunction with HM Ships Damaged or Sunk by Enemy Action in World War II.
