Greetings,
Mr. Murray M. Hmmm....Just how close to Saltspring ARE you?
RickB says "The other way around, a single diesel for cruise and two gas turbines for sprint. A delightfully complex and expensive combining gearbox drives two screws through over-running clutches for a CODAG drive."
Rick, while I respect your posts, your information here is wrong. I toured the HMCS Calgary, a Halifax class FFH (still have the peaked hat) and personally observed the pair of diesels and the single gas turbine in the ER. If I understood correctly what I was looking at (nobody there was from the engineering crew to explain) they all drove a single screw through a combining transmission. Some may have had a refit since I was aboard that one, but I doubt any have been repowered to your suggested configuration. In any event, so long as the fuel barge is nearby, sprint is what they do.
RE the pic on post 432 (my I-pad only does certain things. It corrects most of my spelling though.
Now if GB (and the rest) made their twins like this and put the same amount of power in both singles and twins we could compare them and learn which is more efficient. They no doubt thought it was too much trouble .. Money.
Heavy reverse throttle on the stbd eng, half throttle ahead w full right rudder and this guy would come very close to revolving in it's own length.

Attention Mr.'s Murray and Marin...
Definition of buggered (British & World English)
Please refer to post #448 again and keep it clean please. I don't think Mr. Peter was referring to the same type of INN-U-ENDO (sp?) you are.
