* Frequently seen in various ''Franchise/StarTrek'' episodes after the ship takes damage. Notable in ''StarTrekVoyager'' where they had to do many repairs themselves.

Film:
* Seen in ''Film/{{U-571}}'' as they try to get a damaged submarine under control before they get too deep.

Video Games: 
* Base structures in ''CommandAndConquer'' have a repair function to bring them back to full capacity after an attack. 
* In ''StarCraft'' and ''StarCraftII'' Terrans are able to repair structures and vehicles with [[WorkerUnit SCVs]]. 
* Not really seen on screen, but there is mention that the Citadel in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' had to have major repairs after Sovereign's attack. In ''MassEffect3'' we see it more up close after [[spoiler: Cerberus attacks.]]

Real Life
* Warships carry dedicated damage control teams to get it operational enough to at least reach a friendly port. 
* The ''USS Yorktown'' actually subverted it at the Battle of Midway. After being hit by Japanese bombs, the damage controls teams put out the fires and patched the holes so fast that when the second Japanese wave arrived, they thought it was a different ship and attacked again. She wasn't as lucky that time.
