History of roll-on/roll-off type of cargo ship is reviewed to illustrate development of specific ship requirements for Adm Wm.M. Callaghan; ship is unique in that it is first large cargo ship to be built which has been initially designed to incorporate all advantages of gas turbine propulsion; basic engineering problems and selections involved in design of machinery plant are described; service performance will have significant influence on future applications of gas turbine machinery for commercial ships.
