Naval Damage Control 2017 - Premier community gathering for naval, civilian and industry stakeholders

Naval Damage Control is the premier community gathering for naval, civilian and industry stakeholders. Navies across the world are now increasingly reliant on automated systems to detect and mitigate the damage caused by onboard emergencies.
