Exercise prudent control of **locked-and trailed-shaft** operations to preserve the life of the propulsion turbines

Gary D Jan 2, 2009:
Shaft drives are mostly through a coupling which absorbs the torsional forces from the turbine and the Generator, this prevents metal fatigue that is common in fixed/solid mounted ones.

Rear-end positioned shaft

I'm not sure, but I assume that his might refer to a shaft the is placed on the rear end of the turbine.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gary D : some turbines have the generator attached, others are remote of the turbine via a shaft.
