Your flagship will never be able to sink due to the game mechanism which forbids you to advance any further when  flagship is critically damaged, so you never need to equip one on the flagship. Damage control works on ships that had it equipped. If your ship with damage control is critically damaged and you advance another node, the damage control will activate when she receives further damage that can sink her.

Remember, ships can sink if you advance a node when they are in red, damage control can prevent them from sinking once, and the item will be consumed, and they will still be vulnerable from sinking again the next node..
