Abstract
The development of integrated powerplants for automated ships is studied. Two steam plant approaches and two gas turbine plant concepts were visualized. Feasibility studies and detailed workings of the various powerplants are presented. The Maritime Administration must evaluate the most efficient and practical propulsion plant to determine which will effect the greatest overall economy of operation -- the purpose being to improve the economic climate of American shipping.
