The Ship Systems
Engineering Station (SSES) located at the Philadelphia Naval
Business Center (the former property of the Naval Station

and In- Service Engineering Agent for all hull, mechanical
and electrical (HM&E) ship systems and equipments. SSES
has the capability to test and engineer the full range of
shipboard systems and equipment from full-scale propulsion
systems to digital controls and electric power
systems.
