00:05.922 --> 00:08.466
Marine Systems Electrical Technicians,

00:08.466 --> 00:14.347
or MSETs, are a core part of the team that keeps naval
ships and submarines running smoothly.

00:15.015 --> 00:19.060
They are responsible for operating and maintaining
all the electrical and machinery control

00:19.060 --> 00:24.065
systems on board
the vessel.
MSETs work on many different electrical systems.

00:24.357 --> 00:29.362
As part of the marine systems engineering department,
they maintain the propulsion capabilities,

00:29.446 --> 00:32.782
electrical power generation, and automation and control systems.

00:32.782 --> 00:38.204
These technicians conduct
maintenance, testing, troubleshooting and diagnostics

00:38.455 --> 00:43.460
to ensure the vessels are always sea-ready for training,
peace-keeping, or battle.

00:43.960 --> 00:49.841
MSETs stick to carefully planned maintenance schedules
to keep the ship’s equipment in prime condition.

00:50.425 --> 00:56.264
Watchkeeping is another key responsibility
they have, in which they operate and monitor the equipment and systems

00:56.473 --> 01:03.063
in order to ensure everything is running smoothly and reliably
so that the machinery can respond to command’s direction

01:03.313 --> 01:09.486
at a moment’s notice.
MSETs continue training throughout their career
to keep up with best practices.

01:09.944 --> 01:15.492
They must develop an in-depth knowledge of marine system
engineering to tackle problems as they arise

01:15.784 --> 01:21.247
and will often work together
in teams.
In addition to their main duties, MSETs

01:21.247 --> 01:27.504
may help in emergency situations as part of the team of onboard
experts in firefighting and damage control.
