And we never actually made it to 600 ships. I think we still had 600psi
steam destroyers still on the line, and the battleships definitely were.

At least they were converted to NDSO. With the older oil, the tubes (fuel
oil feed) had to be blown (cleaned) daily. And that pissed off the deck
apes real bad.
