What action must be taken if internal turbine damage is suspected and requires lifting the turbine?

When internal turbine damage is suspected and there is a need to lift the turbine, the correct action is to make a request to lift to NAVSEA. This step is crucial because lifting a turbine, especially one that may have internal damage, requires specialized knowledge and approval to ensure safety and compliance with operational standards. NAVSEA, or the Naval Sea Systems Command, is responsible for maintaining the integrity of naval vessels and their machinery, so any lifting operation involving a turbine must adhere to their guidelines to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

Making a request to NAVSEA ensures that the proper protocols are followed, and the necessary resources are mobilized for a safe and effective lift. It also emphasizes the importance of oversight and accountability in handling such critical equipment, where the implications of mishandling could affect broader naval operations and safety.
