Condition Zebra is associated with which readiness state?

• A. General quarters
• B. X-ray
• C. Yoke
• D. Survivor

Answer: (A)

Condition Zebra signals a fire-related emergency and requires immediate, full battle readiness. When Zebra is declared, the ship goes to General Quarters, pulling all hands to their battle stations and bringing firefighting and damage-control teams online. This state ensures everything needed to fight a fire—hose teams, ventilation control, rapid isolation of the affected area, and constant status checks across compartments—is organized and ready. The goal is to limit the spread of heat and smoke and maintain the ship’s integrity while the situation is assessed and controlled. Other readiness states cover different emergencies or conditions, but Zebra specifically maps to a fire threat that triggers the ship-wide GQ response.
