The diesels were used for speeds under Script error: No such module "convert". and the gas turbines for sprints up to Script error: No such module "convert".. The diesels were rated at a total of Script error: No such module "convert". and the turbines at a total of Template:Cvt.Template:Sfn The combination give the ships a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert"..
