This forty four member group consists of GSE ' s, GSM ' s, and non-designated strikers in training to become Gas Turbine Technicians. Close coordination between workcenters is necessary due to the intricate interface between mechanical and electronic influences upon the propulsion plant. Operation and maintenance for the LM2500 propulsion gas turbine, Allison 501-K17 gas turbine generators, and associated support equipment is accomplished by GSM ' s. Plant electronic maintenance and troubleshooting is the responsibility of GSE ' s. Both rates stand watch in main engine rooms and Central Control Station. Compliance with stringent regulations governing fuel handling and test and treatment of all shipboard liquids is tightly integrated into divisional activities by Oil and Laboratory personnel. Harmony between the division ' s four workcenters is paramount among divisional concerns and was evident throughout the deployment. We would not have made it to the Persian Gulf, or back to San Diego, without these dedicated SNIPES. ENGINEERING MAIN PROPULSION DIVISION 41
