Main elements of jet propulsion are examined in connection with possibilities for ships with following particulars; length 460 ft, breadth 63 ft, draft 27 ft 9 in., displacement 16,900 tons, deadweight 12,500 tons, service speed 13 knots, and 4000 hp at stream turbine coupling; modifications necessary for diesel jet propulsion are noted, and certain comparisons are made with propeller type ship efficiency.
