Britain Builds Gas Turbine Tanker Auria For 1947 Fleet

The design adapts four cycle combustion turbines to run on low grade fuel with diesel alternators, replacing diesel sets planned earlier. The Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co operates Britain’s largest tanker fleet and aims to have new steam turbine ships completed by 1947, boosting Britain’s postwar fleet.
