FIG. 2.—TYPICAL ARRANGEMENT OF TURBINES ADOPTED IN THE EARLIER BATTLESHIPS AND LARGE CRUISERS ment of turbines adopted in theearlier battleships and large cruisers.In these vessels cruising turbineswere fitted in parallel, but in somerecent designs these cruising turbineshave been omitted and the weightand space saved due to their suppres-sion has been utilized to increase theefficiency of the main turbines. Theresult of this modification in the de-sign has been to increase the ef- ficiency of the main turbines at fullpower. The influence of this in-creased efficiency at full power isfelt down to about half power. Be-low half power, however, the ef-ficiency of the turbines is somewhatless than that of the earlier com-binations with cruising turbines, es-pecially when these cruising tur-bines are placed in series. In certain classes of ships, where
