In real life the Damage Control team didn't handle electrics or medical. Their job was 'Damage Control' - repairing actual physical damage that could endanger the ship. SH3 had it completely wrong. SH4 came a little closer, but not close enough. You should have Petty Officers designated to lead the Damage Control team, and they should be trained in fighting fires and flooding. They should be able to put together a team of off-duty personel. These people didn't need to know how to repair damage - just how to follow orders. If the torpedo room is flooding, the torpedomen wouldn't have anything to do except help with damage control. Likewise the enginemen if the boat is submerged.
Damage Control is controlling damage.
