Can a crew of about 100 still control battle damage?

Would a crew of roughly 100 be too small for effective damage control?

Not necessarily: automated firefighting and survivability designed into the hull can reduce manpower needs and focus the crew on repair and buoyancy control.

A viewer challenges whether a crew near 100 would be too small for damage control. Automated firefighting and other modern systems can reduce the personnel burden, leaving sailors to concentrate on patching damage and preserving buoyancy. The answer depends on designing those capabilities into the ship from the outset rather than applying old crew assumptions to a new hull. Sacrificial outer zones could be isolated and repaired after an action while the protected core remained viable, reducing the number of simultaneous emergencies the crew must enter under fire.
