ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1, we looked at the role and function of the rudder and steering gear. As we know, the rudder is used to help the ship change course. We also know the rudder is manipulated by the steering gear. We touched very lightly on the propeller, which propels the ship in the direction of the rudder. In this chapter, we will look at the design, role, and function of the propeller in much greater detail.
