Although conventional steam generation will remain in RN service for perhaps three decades, innovation is past. Starting from the change to liquid fuel, this paper traces the history of oil fired Naval boilers upt to the mid 1960's. At that point the adoption of all-distillate fuel became imperative. The main part of the paper covers the last fifteen years operational experience, successful in terms of the predicted benefits but imposing a tauter operating discipline, costly to acquire, and exposing the marginal nature of certain aspects of current boiler design. More recent developments described include steam atomisation in Rn service.
