VESSEL Damage Control Trainer provides training on damage control skills within the interior of a simulated Arleigh Burke class destroyer. It focuses on learning objectives that directly support the Recruit Training Command curriculum and embeds training within a story that promotes score values, provides a relevant context and reinforces the culture of the service. The game reinforces decision-making, communication protocol, situational awareness and shipboard navigation. Players navigate within a virtual ship, performing typical game actions, such as opening doors, inspecting objects, collecting personal equipment, and using damage control tools. The game provides information resources and feedback designed to help students of different levels succeed.
