Due to shortage of helical gear and electric drives for smaller Diesel powered ships, transmission chain was adopted; after tests on chain drive it was fitted on 65-ft and 110-ft harbor tugs, and Army Transportation Corps FP cargo vessels; advantages as well as limitations of chain transmission; factors which contribute to efficiency, long life, quietness and low maintenance costs.
