turbine propulsion

When ship building expanded in 1940, steam turbine propulsion was the dominant technology.

They were notable for being the first warships to use steam turbine propulsion.

The Royal Navy later used her for experiments with gas turbine propulsion.

The 4 man vessel was designed to test the Walter hydrogen peroxide-based turbine propulsion system.

Chase was one of the first naval vessels built with a combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion plant.

Kaiser was selected to participate in a long-distance cruise to test the reliability of the new turbine propulsion system.

The Committee also took the adventurous step of giving Dreadnought steam turbine propulsion.

She was the first warship in the German Navy to be equipped with turbine propulsion.

(Gas turbine propulsion had been tested in the Bold class of two experimental fast patrol boats).

What was decided was to begin building a class no larger than the Liberty class but with steam turbine propulsion.

These ships were unusual in that they combined turbine propulsion machinery with a pre-dreadnought armament.

In service between 1904-1934, it was the first ship registered in the Southern Hemisphere with stem turbine propulsion.

Von der Tann was the first large German warship to use turbine propulsion.

However, the Finnjet also illustrated the shortcomings of gas turbine propulsion in commercial craft, as high fuel prices made operating her unprofitable.

British Rail allocated the number E1000 (and later E2001) to the locomotive following its conversion from gas turbine propulsion.

Her design had two revolutionary features: an "all-big-gun" armament scheme, with an unprecedented number of heavy-calibre guns, and steam turbine propulsion.

The navies of Russia, the US, and the UK rely on steam turbine propulsion.

With the enlargement of the hull, the steam turbine propulsion system was uprated with higher-pressure boilers (570 psi).

Exmouth rejoined the fleet on 5 June 1968, and during the 1970s she carried out extended trials to validate the feasibility of all-gas turbine propulsion.

This was the only Point class cutter equipped in this manner and the Thatcher was used by the Coast Guard to evaluate gas turbine propulsion.

When the Mississippi-class ships were designed, the older technology of reciprocating steam engines was slowly being replaced by the newer technology of steam turbine propulsion.

The ship also possesses less advanced steam turbine propulsion compared to gas turbine propulsion present in all newer Chinese destroyers.

Both destroyers were launched in 1899, and both were soon lost for reasons unrelated to their machinery, and before the Admiralty could obtain substantial experience with turbine propulsion.

Despite these qualities, the Erzherzog Karl-class battleships were inferior to the more modern Dreadnought type battleships - with their "all big gun" armament and turbine propulsion.
