Ok let me try and explain this the easiest way i can.
If a compartment is damaged or flooding... any personnell within that compartment will automatically try and fix the damage and stop the flooding. but they will not be as efficient as the damage control team.
If you have a damage control team - they are the most efficient way to fight flooding or repair damage however they can only focus on one area of the boat at a time.
IIRC flooding will be pumped out automatically... BUT - the flooding will pump out faster if a damage control team is assigned to the compartment.
You have to assign the damage control team to the compartment to be repaired - they will not repair it automatically.
