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.

people defending mary calling her a "master manipulator" sarcastically don't understand their dynamics with arthur at all i'm afraid
a person doesn't have to be a "master" in toxic behavior, people manipulating and hurting others are not always do that consciously and with clear intent. i do believe that mary manipulates arthur, tries to get on his emotions, bringing up their past, her dad and her dad's opinion on arthur - idk she clearly still holds some feelings for him and i'm sure that she doesn't know how to express her frustration, pain, fear for jamie and her dad better.
but that doesn't make her a good and innocent person and let's not forget her commentary about the girls in camp - i have A LOT of issues with that one. it was written in a letter, meaning that this jab at arthur's family was intentional. she had time to think her letter through, and still decided to insult people dear to her ex she supposedly still loves? misses? like ok go on i guess.
her constant remarks about how bad of a person he is, the "i'd have had you hanged a long time ago" line, that just doesn't sit right with me at all. she's a good character and plays an incredibly important role in the game and in arthur's history as a character, but trying to say that she's good and pure and did nothing wrong ever at all is just plain INCORRECT and i will die on this hill
just some guys.
