Aircraft Carrier Propulsion Engineering Tour (Engineer’s Perspective)

About Aircraft Carrier Propulsion Engineering Tour (Engineer’s Perspective)

About Themed & Group Programs

The goal of each of the Museum’s educational program is to use our unique environment to teach science and history concepts in an interactive and fun manner and each program features a tour and hands-on activities.

Join a veteran carrier engineer on a 2.5 to 3-hour tour and explore the ship and her spaces from the perspective of personnel who maintained and operated the ship’s engineering spaces! This tour gives our visitors an in-depth feel of a day in the life of enlisted and officer engineering personnel in the course of a normal day at sea or in port. It would be a specific and semi-technical tour and discussion of the main engineering spaces including how main propulsion affects all other areas of the ship from being anchored or import steaming auxiliary, or in port cold iron, to lighting off the plant, getting underway, getting meals and showers to aircraft handling and flight operations.
