Excellent overview of the four stages of the steam cycle and how steam energy is harnessed for propulsion and generation of electricity! Love the quality of these old films
I`m a ex BT. Working as a pipefitter/welder. I teach a steam theory class at an apprenticeship school. As old as this film may seem, its a wonderful visual training aid.
Just in the 1st 2 and a half minutes I would change the used steam returns as feedwater to the used steam returns as condensate. I wouldn't call it feedwater until it passes through the D.A tank and is injected with boiler water treatment chemicals "as needed".
To williamorton7600: DD 850 and the other DDs of the era did have M-type boilers, as did most World War II-era combatant ships other than DEs. I'm not sure why they chose the DE-type boiler as their illustrative example.
I'm surprised DD850 had a D type boiler. I guess only the CG and bigger had M type boilers. Gotta go break out my steam tables now. Great training aid.

Great video. Thanks for posting.
I remember seeing this film at the BT "A" school at Great Lakes back in the early 70s.
We just watched it the other week in my engineering class

I've watched this a few times I've worked with this kind of stuff
❤ great video!
Ship named after rum runner can’t mess with money
You mean the war hero JPK JR who was lost over the English Channel right? Might want to check your facts
Good Day, sir would you be willing to allow me to contact you regarding this video and where I might be able to obtain a copy?
