Battleship North Dakota Turbines Delay Modern Warship
The North Dakota at Brooklyn Navy Yard faces turbine issues delaying her completion by roughly six to eight weeks. Washington officials admit the turbine propulsion system underperforms, prompting a broader decision that no battleship built under the current general board will be equipped with turbines. Possible inspections may reveal the cause, but the complex engine remains a hurdle. Rumors also touch on Argentine interest in halting two other battleships under construction, potentially linked to turbine doubts and future propulsion choices.
