Which item is NOT listed as an emergency category from a control standpoint?

The key idea is how emergencies are classified by how they affect control of the vessel. Comms failure, NAVAID failure, and a ship system casualty all directly disrupt the ability to command, navigate, or operate essential ship systems, so they are grouped as control emergencies that require coordinated response from the crew and command structure. Electrical fire, while an extremely serious hazard requiring immediate firefighting and safety actions, is treated as a specific safety incident rather than a broad control emergency category. It triggers fire response protocols rather than representing a control-category disruption. So, electrical fire is not listed as an emergency category from a control standpoint.
