It's just named "Skipjack/prop" Its set up as a contra rotating prop, so what I tried was just deleting the "5" from the two files and it seems to have worked, but I don't know if its the prop you intended to use. They are the big props like on the LA and they have the same pitch, not contra rotating. Here are some screenshots...

There used to be a prop 5, which, as you may have guessed was the 5 bladed screw that the Skipjacks (and quite a few other boats) were initially fitted with through the mid-to-late 1960s. This is the so-called "Speed Screw" which could push the Skipjacks up to 33 knots (and the USS Thresher to just a shade under) but which also caused a vibration issue which made them quite a bit louder vs their 7 blade successor.
