  • Abstract
    THIS paper deals primarily with the electric propulsion of ships, except wherein a comparison of some particular feature or characteristic warrants a reference to some other type of drive. In dealing with electric propulsion, it is necessary to consider all classes of ships, and this leads to two broad, general classifications, such as merchant ships and war vessels.
