It is suggested that 10 yr following end of World War II might be considered as development phase for advanced steam plants; improvements through 1954 included reduction in propulsion plant weights of 19% and in overall engineering plant weights of 10%, and improvement of cruising economy of 14%; table summarizes characteristics of destroyer types from 1898 through 1962; 10-yr prediction considers steam and gas turbines, diesels, gasoline engines, steam reciprocating engines and mechanical or thermal combinations thereof; predictions for perhaps 10-20 yr hence note major problems and/or advances in thermoelectric generators, fuel cells, and magnetohydrodynamics.
