Lexington or Saratoga would be the preferred turbo-electric reconstruction, with a standard-type battleship as another acceptable choice. The purpose is to inspect the engineering spaces and understand the electrical machinery in detail. Specific questions concern thermal-overload protection and the resistors used to regulate motor rotation. The discussion also asks whether the system used single-phase, three-phase, or another multiphase arrangement, and what voltage supplied the propulsion motors.

A turbo-electric warship as an engineering reconstruction
A reconstructed turbo-electric warship would expose its overload protection, speed controls, electrical phases, and propulsion-motor voltage.
