Damage Control Party Data
The basic consumable found on all ships, it instantly repairs all module incapacitations, fires, and floods, and provides immunity from the same during its duration. Unlike most consumables, which have limited uses, Damage Control Party typically has infinite uses, limited only by its cooldown. The cooldown varies per type of ship, and can be further reduced based on the skills her commander has and the signals that have been mounted. The duration also varies per ship: typically 5 seconds for destroyers, while most battleships' last for 15 seconds (some as high as 20 seconds).
It may be tempting to instantly fix any damage on a ship, but if under intense fire, waiting may be the wiser decision. Particularly in destroyers where modules get incapacitated very easily, waiting until something major breaks is a lot smarter than wasting Damage Control Party on a simple armament incapacitation. It may very well save the ship, since losing a gun or torpedo launcher is a lot less important than losing the rudder or engine. In carriers it may be a little bit different. If a carrier's flight deck catches fire, it may be wise to repair it in order to land and/or launch aircraft. Knowing the right time to use the Damage Control Party consumable is a key skill to learn in World of Warships.
