Propulsion system types

Propulsion system types cover the main categories of marine propulsion – conventional mechanical (diesel‑electric, diesel‑diesel, steam‑turbine), gas turbine, nuclear, and emerging hybrid or electric systems. Mastering these types is essential because exam questions often ask you to match characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and typical vessel classes to each propulsion type.
