Highlights of Experience
Machinist Mate 2nd Class (Nuke) 2 Plant August 2009 to Present
United States Enterprise (CVN-65) Norfolk, VA
2 Plant is one of 4 propulsion blocks, each with a main engine and 2 reactor plants. At the time of my assignment to 2 Plant, USS Enterprise had been in the shipyard for almost 2 years. Most personnel with experience in a steaming plant had left the Navy, or transferred to another command. With 2 Plant being the 1st plant to perform a reactor startup in almost 2 years, I was assigned to the plant to lend my experience with starting up a reactor, watch standing in a steaming plant, and maintenance associated with reactor startups.
• Ensured safe plant operations by providing on-the-job training for junior enlisted and junior officer personnel.
• Ensured safety of the plant and personnel by responding to reactor plant casualties and successfully accomplishing follow up actions, as well as subsequent recovery of the plant.
• Ensured proper plant operation by performing preventative and corrective maintenance on reactor auxiliary systems.
• Oversaw activities of workers and reviewed status reports of stations operations to ensure conformance with safety operating procedures during maintenance.
• Executed daily operations of ship propulsion machinery and auxiliary equipment, including reactor support systems, turbine generators, and associated systems (circulating water, lubricating oil, etc.)
Reactor Damage Control Petty Officer November 2007 to August 2009
United States Enterprise (CVN-65) Norfolk, VA
Reactor DC division is a TAD assignment, which includes personnel from all rates: ET, EM, and MM. Primary responsibility is the upkeep of damage control measures in reactor owned spaces. This includes performance of 3M preventative maintenance on damage control equipment (fire extinguishers, battle lanterns, firefighting stations), and watertight hatch closures. Also included are the repair and/or replacement of parts or system components in damage control measures when necessary.
• Returned aft firefighting system to service by replacing (and in one case, rebuilding) fire main systems valves.
• Ensured continuous firefighting readiness by hydrostatically testing 133 fire hoses.
• Ensured continual casualty response readiness by performing preventative and corrective maintenance on hundreds of watertight and airtight hatch closures.
• Maintained reactor damage control gauge calibration.
Machinist Mate 3rd Class (Nuke) 3 Plant October 2005 to November 2007
United States Enterprise (CVN-65) Norfolk, VA
3 Plant is another of Enterprise’s 4 propulsion blocks, and was my first assignment onboard. My responsibility there was the performance of maintenance in preparation for the coming deployment to the gulf, as well as qualifying my in-rate watch stations. Here I learned all about the power plant, gained hands-on experience and knowledge plant operation, and was promoted to Machinist Mate 2nd Class. Secondary responsibilities included taking on collateral duties necessary for plant safety.
• Executed daily operations of ship propulsion machinery and auxiliary equipment, including reactor support systems, turbine generators, and associated systems (circulating water, lubricating oil, etc.).
• Monitored and analyzed readings of instrumentation systems to ensure that reactor and auxiliary equipment were operated safely.
• Trained and supervised 10 junior sailors in watchstation qualifications, giving new operators the tools to operate the plant safely.
• Replaced equipment and performed maintenance on reactor auxiliary systems.
• Conferred with supervisory personnel to perform and oversee reactor start-ups, as well as routine and emergency shutdowns to ensure personnel safety and proper functioning of the plant.
• Selected above peers to provide on-the-job training for junior enlisted and junior officer personnel
• Responded to reactor plant casualties and successfully accomplished follow up actions and subsequent recovery of the plant.
• Personally oversaw 5 personnel during maintenance and replacement of components at the steam generator feed control station, ensuring personnel safety and correct restoration of the system.
• Performed inspections and coordinated preventative maintenance in the upkeep of stainless steel piping for reactor auxiliary systems to prevent catastrophic failure of system piping, preventing damage to equipment and personnel.
• Maintained and preserved the condition of reactor plant manuals to ensure safe plant operation.
• Qualified senior watchstation 6 months ahead of schedule.
