so this is what i do...i work on 2 LM-2500 gas turbine engines... and one main reduction gear... each engine has a power turbine break. 35000 ft lbs of force to stop the power turbine. the engines push the power to the main reduction gear that takes it from high speed low torque and converts it to low speed high torque which at the end were pushing out 51,500 horse power each and we have 2 one the ship. asside from my babys, im the oil queen on my ship, i test fuel and lube oil, and transfer fuel to the engines, i also do flight quarters, i help refuel the helicopters that land on our fight deck. soon I will be getting my own riser so ill be the one at the stations while we take on fuel fron the oilers. over all i walways have a busy day, sometimes hectick casue there is always something wron that has to be fixed and there is always maintenance to be done. here are some pictures of my ship and flight quarters and what my engines look like. enjoy
