04 Low Pressure Turbine
My retired merchant marine friend Steve Maisch offered the following comments about this and the next page:
The Low Pressure Turbine and the High Pressure Turbine work together for ahead motion. The Low Pressure Turbine houses the astern element which is only used when moving astern. All steam is exhausted to the main condenser.
