RE: Powering aircraft carrier

My destroyer is 56" long, weighs 15lbs, and runs on two 14 volt pittman motors. the propellers are
just some brass stamped petals about 1.5" in diameter.

Some of the bigger ships the heavy cruisers are 96" long and weigh about 100lbs to the water line.
They also run on pittman motors. Typically 12 volts... heres a picture of a set...
I would guess that the propellers are about 2-2.25" in diameter.
