Main Engineering Room

The main room for Engineering Department on a Navy ship is called Damage Control Central, or DCC, and in many science fiction shows as Main Engineering. It is basically a room that can monitor every major system Engineering is in charge of from one place. In most of the Star Trek shows Main Engineering as the room where the main part of the propulsion system was, the warp engine. However, in Navy ships DCC is merely a room with a desk, a few chairs, and lots of panels with lights showing alarms and random noises as smaller alarms go off as scheduled or to denote things that are being worked on but that met overload mode. It is less than a minute away from the two main machine rooms: engine room and fire room.
