Steering Gear Types

[Polaris]

It's orals prep time and I've been going through the questions received from past candidates.

One of the questions is, "What type of steering gear/equipment did you have on your last ship?"

Is the examiner looking for the type of power unit here? Electric, electrohydraulic or hydraulic? Or are they after something else?

Thanks

I'd imagine they mean rotary vane or hydraulic ram.
