Which condition corresponds to General Quarters?

• A. Zebra
• B. X-Ray
• C. Yoke
• D. Condition Zulu

Answer: (A)

In naval damage-control terminology, General Quarters—battle stations during combat—is identified by the term Zebra. When Zebra is set, the ship shifts to the highest state of readiness: crew rushes to assigned stations, watertight doors are closed, damage-control teams are ready, and weapons and defenses are prepared. The other terms refer to different situations or hazards, not General Quarters, so they don’t match the scenario of a ship going to battle stations.
