The reduction gears and steam turbines under construction at the General Electric Plant, circa March 1942.
Based on the date and the fact USS Iowa (BB-61) and USS Missouri (BB-63) were the only Iowa Class Battleships to receive General Electric gears and turbines, these are most likely for USS Missouri.
There are four sets of double reduction cross-compound geared turbines, with each turbine set driving a single shaft. “They offered almost 10-1 reduction to allow the turbines to run at much higher and more efficient rpm. These are some of the most critical components of the powerplant and one of the things which allowed long ranges in US battleships.“

Note that they are double helix which eliminates axial thrust while providing the quieter running and increased strength of helically cut gears.

IDELLE (Lise Slabber) from Black Sails
I liked my earlier painting with Idelle and the Brothel Blackbeard, so I continued this part of it. At some point I started to think about playing cards (other than King, Queen, Knights, Ace etc…) and I wanted it to have something with friendship, love or her rising into power - and found the Two of Hearts (A Good Friend, Satisfaction) which was perfect! :D
Ps. I like adding hidden shadows, so Max is in there too. And aaah, look at that nice curve of the chair matching the D in Idelle, heh! Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
do you ever think how there’s a part of the moon named after Francis Crozier and just cry
