When I served in the navy I was on a Spruance class Destroyer 2 Gas turbine main engines. That ship was commissioned in 1981. Most Spruance Class destroyers including mine were decommissioned in the late 1990’s. My ship would not have had diesel engines in it time. Thank you, that’s very interesting.

Some ships might still use steam turbine due to lower level of vibration but I think with better improvements in diesel engine design, naval architect and marine engineers will continue to choose low speed diesel engine to propel ships.
