My understanding is that the battleship, HMS Vanguard, which was completed
right around the end of WW2 and never fired a shot in anger, was equipped
with four propellor shafts each driven by a large four cylinder wetliner
gasoline engine, each of which was equipped with a pair of 72" SUs. At
least, that was the rumour...
