A machinery comparison uses a 33,800-ton ship making 23 knots with 45,000 shaft horsepower. Reaching a much higher speed requires a disproportionately greater power output. The slower ship's machinery figure therefore cannot be scaled directly to the proposed 35-knot design.

Why higher ship speeds require sharply more power
A battleship machinery comparison explains why power cannot be scaled directly from a slower ship to a 35-knot design.
