Oh .. I understand now... they have a transmission of some sort.... wow most interesting.

The two parts of the picture are not the same boat, just two different priciples.

The left hand part of the pic - the one with the slow speed motors - is a Tench class propulsion arrangement. 2 slow speed, higher HP motors are directly geared to the propellers, replacing the earlier 4 motors + transmission.

That was the idea, they picked an engine that would also be used for trains so that they could be mass produced.

The US did that a lot, use of standardized components to build war equipement. The Sherman tank had a standard GM truck engine. That's why they build so many of them. It was easy to do. And the Germans struggled with their tank engines for their expensive Panthers and Tigers and so lost the ground war in Europe.

That and the literally ran outa gas :p
