Abstract
A ship drive system provides the power transmission path between the prime mover, which may be a gas or steam turbine, diesel engine, or other source of rotary power, and a propeller, fan, jet pump, or other propulsor generally operating at much lower speed. When multiple prime movers or propulsors are used, the drive system should also permit power-combining and cross-connection.
