Warrior's liftable screw propeller preserved sailing efficiency by reducing underwater drag. Raising it could require roughly 600 men, compared with a complement of about 700. The funnels also came down before the ship proceeded fully under sail. Preparing for efficient sailing therefore occupied most of her crew.
