Various arrangements of diesel and steam turbine plant, shafting and propellers are considered in relation to trends toward greater operational economy through larger, more specialized and speedier ships, and through rationalization throughout industry and in ships by increasingly greater adoption of automation; factors in adoption of automation, improvement in reliability, and savings in fuel are noted; in conclusion it is suggested prospects for adoption of gas turbine may not be bright because it requires expensive fuel oil, and that problems such as availability of fuel, safety, etc, must be solved before nuclear ships are widely put into service.
