Hi all, I have just read this treatise from Royal Academy of Engineering.  Although dated 2013 it covers everything to do with full size ships and propulsion.  I found it a fascinating read.

I hope you enjoy it as well.
Regards Roy

Colin Bishop:

Hi Davie Tait, I was not impressed by the KRISO video, especially their choice of ships, what was the SS Great Britain doing there?  Then I read the remarks, seems neither was anyone else!
I came across a parallel 2 pod system with one pod using a contra rotating propeller which claims to help eliminate rotational losses.
regards Roy
