Are you sure that the hybrid steam-turbine/triple-expansion engine thing was really "unusual"? I've heard of that being used on a number of ships, notably the Titanic (in that case, the turbine ran off the exhaust steam from the reciprocating engines, which were the main engines). Perhaps it's unusual for a combat ship, but I don't think it's by any means "unusual" as far as engine layouts in general go. It's simply a way to give good low-speed cruising (where turbines suffer from poor efficiency), while giving you a reserve of power from a high speed turbine for dashes when the rare occasion calls for maximum speed at the cost of high fuel consumption. .45Colt 02:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Odd angles, but interesting:
Note I only searched Normandie. Searching the other ships' names (with only 20th-century publication date and only images as results) may gain other useful images. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 6.7% of all FPs 21:38, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
Note 3 has a Harvard error because it doesn't include the year. Is it citing Preston 1972 or Preston 2002? AmericanLemming ( talk) 19:14, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
