Definitions

another function of the Damage Control and Rescue Party. One uses the same party for a different purpose and hence also calls it the Rescue Party. People and things not of the ship are handled in this drill. Swamped rowboats, exhausted swimmers, sinking ships, etc. The ship's company in general goes on handling the ship and the special actions required are done by the Damage Control and Rescue Party. In a very small ship the Damage Control and Rescue Party may be as few as two hands. But it must be no fewer than two and may not be one person as it can get into trouble, and it must exist.
