I saw this on a poster a while back and thought it was worth quoting.

1. Keep your ship water tight
2. Do not violate material condition
3. Have confidence in your ship's ability to withstand damage
4. Know your way around - even in the dark
5. Know how to use and maintain damage control equipment
6. Report damage to nearest damage control repair station
7. Keep personal articles properly secured
8. Practice personal damage control; protect yourself so you can protect your ship
9. Take every possible step to save the ship as long as a bit of hope remains
10. Keep cool, don't give up the ship.
