the Royal Navy
At the beginning of World War II, the Royal Navy was the strongest navy in the world, with the largest number of warships built and with naval bases across the globe. It had over 15 battleships and battlecruisers, 7 aircraft carriers, 66 cruisers, 164 destroyers and 66 submarines.
In navies and the maritime industry, damage control is the emergency control of situations that may cause the sinking of a watercraft. Examples are: rupture of a pipe or hull especially below the waterline and. damage from grounding (running aground) or hard berthing against a wharf.
What was the most successful destroyer in ww2?
The Scharnhorst was greatly feared. She was the most successful fighting ship of any navy during World War II and she was the bravest ship. We were full speed at 36 knots and going through those mountainous seas. It was a full gale blowing.
Because they only trained a few officers and sailors in damage control, plus there were few redundancies on IJN ships. If the damage control station was taken out, there was no one to do the job. The loss of the four carriers at Midway, as well as the sinking of Yamato, was a prime example of this.
What happened damage control?

What are the three basic objectives of the damage control?

Did any Japanese battleships survived ww2?
The IJN was running out of fuel by this time and decided not to fully repair her. She was attacked in July 1945 as part of the American campaign to destroy the IJN’s last remaining capital ships, but was only slightly damaged and went on to be the only Japanese battleship to have survived World War II.
Ironically, the U.S. Navy learned much of its damage control expertise from the Imperial German Navy, whose damage control techniques and procedures kept many of its ships afloat during the Battle of Jutland in World War I.
What role did the United States Navy play in WW2?
The United States Navy grew rapidly during World War II from 1941–45, and played a central role in the war against Japan. It also assisted the British Royal Navy in the naval war against Germany and Italy.
The ability of American crews to keep their ships afloat even when seriously damaged gave the U.S. Navy a decided advantage over its Japanese opponents in World War II and has saved a number of vessels from meeting their demise since then.
Why was American artillery so effective in WW2?
The U.S. Army’s artillery achieved that goal far better than the Wehrmacht or any other army during World War II. Part of the reason American artillery was so effective was good forward observation. During World War I, fire was adjusted by individual batteries.
