The best way to compare the Machinery Technician (MK) shop here to a ship is to think of the MKs as part of a robust “A” gang.  The Atlantic Strike Team possesses many different types of engines and hydraulically driven pumps as well as oil skimming equipment.  The Atlantic Strike Team has Semi-Tractors, a large variety of trailers from 14’ utility trailers to 48’ box and drop deck trailers, forklifts, and a 10-ton crane truck in its inventory.  Strike Team pumping capacity inclued a variety of both submersible and non-submersible pumps that can pump both oils and chemicals.  The MKs spend time ensuring all this gear is ready to deploy anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.
