|
|
Seals around the shaft to keep the water out of the ship
|
Shaft Seals
|
|
Produces thrust to propel the ship through the water (not system)
|
Screw
|
|
Provides and alternate means of power
|
Emergency Propulsion Motor (EPM)
|
|
Engages and disengages EPM from the reduction gears

Clutch
|
|
Known as "outboard", asst in maneuvering the ship in tight areas, ER means of propulsion
|
Secondary Propulsion Motor
|
|
Generate, Store and distribute electricity for the ships use
|
Purpose of Electrical System
|
|
