US Navy tests on Liberty Ship John L. Sullivan, using 4 turboprop aircraft engines on gun mounts with engines running at 3000 hp each, showed good ship maneuverability in shallow debris filled water, but aircraft propellers were considered inadequate; design of windmill type airscrew, possibility of 391-ft diam, is proposed as sail to alternate with engine power for merchant ship seagoing propulsion; diagrams.
