This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

You're right.......
The propulsion system of a BUCKLEY-class DE consisted of two
nearly identical units, each composed of a high-pressure, superheater boiler in a fire room and a main GE 4.600-KW steam
turbine-generator, synchronous propulsion motor, and motor-generator set in an adjacent engine room. At full power, each shaft was driven by an entire unit; the forward unit operated the
starboard propellor and the after unit operated the port propellor. For reduced (cruising) speed, or in the event of one engine or boiler were lost, either unit could provide parallel power to both
shafts through a cross-connection. Propellor speed was regulated
with a lever on a control panel located in each engine room. Levers to apply a DC excitation field to the generator and propulsion motor, and to reverse the electrical connection for propellor reversal were also located on these panels (during a cross-connection. one control panel (sticks) would operate both
propellor shafts.)
The reverse lever was located on the port side of the control panel
and the speed control lever was on the starboard side of the control panel.
And have a great day,
