What is NBCD State 1 Condition Zulu?
Hands to Action Stations, Assume NBCD State 1 Condition Zulu. This is one of the highest states (State 1) of readiness, when the whole ship’s company are closed up at their designated action stations. The term NBCD, stands for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Damage. Zulu means that all doors and hatches are fully clipped shut, giving the ship maximum watertight integrity. Below is a very short video, where you will hear the main broadcast alarm, with the call to action stations:
