I was browsing wikipedia tonight and noticed that they quote the Midway class carriers as having 212,000 hp engines, exactly the same figure as the Iowas. Did the Midways and Iowas share the same powerplant? It would make sense I guess seeing as they are both approximately the same displacement.
Did any other ship classes share the same engines with the Iowas? Were the Montanas going to share the same powerplant as well? Also, I dont remember what their names were, but I believe there were two ships that each got half the powerplant of one of the uncompleted Iowas?
