I don't know if 'sloppy' is the right word. The centre, turbine-driven prop was only there to give the ship added efficiency (more power from the same steam). It's been said that there were no major deficiencies in Titanic's basic performance capabilities, including turning radius. There've also been many ships with only a single prop and a rudder directly behind. |

I have a drawing from a magazine of a proposed design of Titanic II. It definately shows a larger rudder for the ship.
Although the Queen Mary has the same rudder size, we might want to keep in mind that the propeller positions might have something to do with it. If I remember correctly, I heard that the Olympic class propeller configuration was a sloppy design, that is, with a prop right behind the rudder, and two wing props on each side. The Lusitania and Mauretania, which could be auxillary heavy cruisers in times of war, had a prop design similar to the Mary's (two screws on each side with a rudder in the middle) . I. E., they were designed for being very menuverable in times of combat (Although this did not help the Lucy). I'm just throwing this out here for thought: Battleship Bismarck had twin rudders in front of her props and it was determined that the ship could not steer good using only the props. The British caught her by disabling her steering gear. I am no engineer, and this maybe false, but it seems today that most new ships like the QM2, would never have Titanic's configuration, rudder or props. |

Just found this pic. It shows Queen Mary's rudder a little better, though it's from a model. Still much better than the previous pic I posted.

I don't think Titanic's rudder was too small. Look at Queen Mary's rudder. It's small and on a larger ship. Look at this rudder and decide for yourself.
