Steam turbine plants are used to power the propulsion systems of large ships. They work by using high pressure steam to spin turbine blades connected to reduction gears that reduce the RPMs to a suitable speed to drive the ship's propeller shaft. Videos of various steam turbine engine rooms on ships show the large turbine components, steam piping, controls, and generators used in maritime steam propulsion systems.
