What is in the forward engine room?

December 5, 2025 47 views

The forward engine room includes:

  1. Two more Fairbanks-Morse (or General Motors) main engine-generator combinations that also extend to the lower level.
  2. Two Kleinschmidt stills for fresh water.
  3. Air conditioning on the lower level. This has been described as functioning more as a dehumidifier rather than actual air conditioning. In other words, in WW2 it removed some moisture but didn’t cool the air very well.
  4. Clean fuel tank.
  5. Normal lube oil tank.
  6. Associated fuel and oil pumps and filters.
