3. Propulsor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propulsor

   The word is commonly used in the marine vernacular, and implies a mechanical assembly that is more complicated than a propeller. The Kort nozzle, pump-jet and rim-driven thruster are examples. An example propulsor is shown in the accompanying picture. It has a shroud which cuts down on blade-tip cavitation and radiated noise.

4. Container chassis - Wikipedia

   A container chassis, also called intermodal chassis or skeletal trailer, is a type of semi-trailer designed to securely carry an intermodal container. Chassis are used by truckers to deliver containers between ports , railyards, container depots, and shipper facilities, [ 1 ] : 2–3 and are thus a key part of the intermodal supply chain .

   The last major passenger ship built with steam turbines was Fairsky, launched in 1984. Similarly, many steam ships were re-engined to improve fuel efficiency . One high-profile example was the 1968 built Queen Elizabeth 2 which had her steam turbines replaced with a diesel-electric propulsion plant in 1986.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schilling_rudder

   Like all rudders, the main effect of a Schilling rudder is to deflect the flow of water generated by the propeller.Schilling rudders are most commonly used on ships that are difficult to maneuver, particularly large ships such as container ships and oil tankers, slow-moving ships and boats, longer and narrower ships, or boats with slow-moving propellers.

   Cavitating propeller in water tunnel experiment Cavitation damage evident on the propeller of a personal watercraft Bronze propeller & anti-cavitation plate, & Schilling rudder (on a river barge) Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles in water near a moving propeller blade in regions of very low pressure.

8. Azimuth thruster - Wikipedia

   English inventor Francis Ronalds described what he called a propelling rudder in 1859 that combined the propulsion and steering mechanisms of a boat in a single apparatus. . The propeller was placed in a frame having an outer profile similar to a rudder and attached to a vertical shaft that allowed the device to rotate in plane while spin was transmitted to the propell
