February, 1927 TRIKING testimony for turbine propulsion appears on the U.S. Shipping Board Honor Roll; for thirty-three of the fifty ships thus distin- guished are equipped with turbine drive. That 70 per cent of these turbine-driven vessels have G-E equipment is evidence of the quality built into every marine product of the Gen- eral Electric Company. The MARINE REVIEW equipment for these ships was constructed as part of the war program, and to-day serves adequately the peace- time needs of commercial operation. This recognition of perform- ance is given only to ships which have traveled at least 20,000 miles during the six- months period, with a rating for sea and port efficiency of 95 per cent or better. General Electric marine equipment has been success- fully applied to many forms of ship propulsion as well as to auxiliaries. Among the G-E equipped vessels are: Trawlers Towboats Ferryboats Fuel Ships Battleships Passenger Liners Coast Guard Cutters Dredges Tankers Tugboats Fire Boats Cargo Boats Bulk Freighters Airplane Carriers The Honor Roll of Service 176-1 45 GENERAL ELECTRIC GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SCHENECTADY.
