Bob: As any new class ship propeller changes wasn't new. So I don't blame them trying out a three bladed as to a four blades. But at the end of the day more blades smoother the performance.
Its hard to believe that extra 6 inches on diameter can make up the same sqft from a four blades to a three blades.
Whilst on the subject centre propellers. I have notice on Olympic the mark numbers in feet are not there behind the propeller. Looks like a wear plates had been added!
Hi Charley,
Do known what year and month the first photo was taken? As I see the centre propeller has been removed.
Hey folks,
