How much electric-motor power might a Flower-class-sized escort need to reach 20 knots?
Short answerIn a rough calculation, two T-class-scale motor units, about 2,900 horsepower in total, should be enough.
NotesA viewer asks how electric-motor power could be scaled from a Flower-class baseline toward a 20-knot escort. The theoretical calculation starts with roughly 2,000 indicated horsepower for the Flower class. Two T-class-scale motors would yield about 2,900 horsepower and should meet the proposed requirement. This is an order-of-magnitude estimate rather than a complete hydrodynamic design, but it shows how machinery units can frame an early feasibility check.
