yea, usually those checklists are all perfect and smell rosy!, I"ve had propulsion go off line at sea, we eventually found a small button in the bottom of one of the switch panels not flickering the same as the others and when pushed everything lit up. I think that only happened twice in 3 years. no ryme or reason, it was all eventually upgraded so we had ‘’ other’’ problems! hahahaha
Engineers are suppose to be ‘‘operators’’ but spend half our time fixing stuff but some of the new stuff requires a eet (electronic engineering tech) aboard which is usually a valuable commodity once in a while !
