Abstract
This thesis examines the possible uses of coal and coal
derived fuels for propulsion of the ships of the United
States Navy. The need for this study was precipitated by
the worsening supply of oil in the world.
Included is a review of the world energy problem, and
estimates of when real shortages in petroleum can be expected.
