Fleet Week 2007 once again began with the Resolve Fire & Hazard D/C Olympics. As with all good ideas, that receive the commitment they deserve, it soon becomes a tradition and the Damage Control Olympics are no exception. With the continued support of Joe and Mary Beth Farrell and the Resolve Family, the Olympics have celebrated their 6th year.

A widely anticipated and appreciated intramural event; the D/C Olympics are open internationally to all Naval and Coast Guard Damage Control Teams during Fleet Week USA. The competition consists of 6 scored events which incorporate various skills from the damage control disciplines.

Results of the 2007 Olympics were as follows: 1st Place – USS Forrest Sherman 2nd Place – USS Gunston Hall 3rd Place – USS San Jacinto Damage Control teams from the USS Kearsarge, USS Ponce, and the USS Memphis also participated in the Olympics.
