Module 4

SUMMARY

Inside machinists focus on precision machining of internal submarine components. They operate tools like lathes and mills, interpret blueprints, and collaborate with engineers to ensure parts meet exact specifications. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and manual dexterity are key skills for this role.

Outside machinists handle large external submarine parts, ensuring proper alignment and assembly. They work with heavy machinery to fabricate and install larger components. Physical strength, teamwork, and precision are essential in this hands-on, physically demanding role.

Welders are responsible for joining metal parts to create structurally sound submarines. They use various welding techniques, follow safety protocols, and ensure the integrity of welds. Key skills include attention to detail, hand-eye coordination, and safety awareness.
