: Does anyone know the size of the B & W boilers on the Kennedy or similar class carriers?
It's been a while but if my memory is right she had four boiler rooms with two boilers each. They were in the mid-200,000 pph range each, very high pressure and superheated.
I don't remember if they were B&W's though, maybe CE's or FW's ? Does anyone else rememeber ?
