The other thing to keep in mind, is I bet this engine has steam jacketing on the cylinders and the cylinder heads. Lots to digest!!!Dave
You'd expect the heavier side of the engine to be inboard for stability.
My guess is that the weight of the engines and boilers is pretty low impact for a battleship. I do not know any details for the Ohio BB-12, but later battleships had armor belts up to 18 inches (?) thick.This ain't your grandfather's Chris-Craft. Gene
'Steamer' Dave very kindly gave me a copy of the set of plans he has of the engine from this ship.

I doubt I'll tackle this project, but Chris, I share your enthusiasm for just getting to pour over the drawings. They'd have to be out of copyright at this point....if they only exist in they physical form, I'd happy to volunteer to produce large format high res PDF's and make them available; I'd just like to see them.
