Also maintained and operated ship's support systems, maintained the controllable pitch propeller system, control ship's service steam and performed water chemistry testing. Operated electric plant control and main propulsion equipment, pumps, turning gears, air compressors, oil purification systems, low pressure air dehydrators, and engineering control systems. I worked with blueprints, schematics and charts to maintain and repair gas turbine engines and auxiliary equipment. I perform preventive maintenance on ship's fuel system and air system, sea water service system, waste drain system, oil purification system, and manually operated valves. As a GSM I also performed work area inspections, operated standard test equipment, and tested lubricating oil and distillate fuels for contamination, neutralization, and precipitation. Show less
