The propulsion local control equipment
(PLOE) is the engine room control equipment
on the DD- and CG-class ships. Two identical
PLOEs are on each ship, one in each engine

room. PLOE No. 1 is located in MER 2, while
PLOE No. 2 is in MER 1. Each PLOE has two
units of which the major unit is the PLCC.
The second unit is the propulsion local control
electronics enclosure (PLCEE). This unit houses
the power supplies for the PLCC. Other than
on/off control, no operator functions are
available at the PLCEE.
The PLCC is divided into six panels and a
PLA and pitch control section. These panels are
the GTM B PANEL, the GTM A/B PANEL, the
GTM A PANEL, the SELF TEST PANEL, the
EOT PANEL, and the ALARM TEST PANEL.

PLA and pitch control levers.
