Turbine teamwork WestPac '88 was an extreme- ly busy and rewarding experi- ence for the R-2 Division i'Turbine Techs. They per- formed two gas turbine change- outs within a two week time frame: a S16 million main pro- pulsion LM25OO engine on board USS HALYBURTON lFFG-4Oi, and a S700.000 elec- trical generator engine on board USS O'BRlEN lDD-975j. Both of these jobs required nearly round-the-clock labor by not only the gas turbine shop personnel. but also the riggers CShop 72Aj, Deck Department crane crew and the engineering electricians. These capable men and wom- en worked together to make these change-outs possible. Several thousand man-hours were expended in this effort. en- abling both of these ships to quickly resume their vital mis- sions in the Persian Gulf.
