Ship [r]: Vessel larger than a boat for transporting people, goods, or defence by sea, and capable of crossing open waters. ^[e]

CODOG [r]: Combined Diesel Or Gas marine propulsion system, in which either the diesel or the gas turbine connects to the propellers ^[e]
CODAG [r]: Combined Diesel And Gas marine propulsion system, in which either a diesel, a gas turbine, or both connect to the propeller ^[e]
CODLAG [r]: Combined Diesel-electric and gas marine propulsion system, in which the diesel drives a generator that powers an electric motor that turns the propeller at low speed, but a gas turbine can be added mechanically for bursts of power ^[e]
CODAD [r]: Combined Diesel and Diesel marine propulsion system, a method that uses one diesel for low speed and two for high speed; characterized by high fuel efficiency and long endurance ^[e]
COSAG [r]: Combined steam and gas marine propulsion system, while an obsolete method, uses a boiler-powered steam turbine for low speed ^[e]
COGOG [r]: Combined gas or gas marine propulsion system, a system that uses two gas turbines, one optimized for low and one for high speed, but only one at a time ^[e]

COGAS [r]: Combined gas and steam marine propulsion system, an experimental method primarily driven by gas turbines, but that scavenges the waste heat from the gas turbines to drive a steam turbine ^[e]
CONAS [r]: Marine propulsion system, using a nuclear-heated steam turbine backed up with conventional steam turbines, all driving electric motors; unique to Kirov-class cruisers ^[e]
COGES [r]: Marine propulsion system in which gas turbines drive the generators and electric motors turn the propellers, used on some cruise ships ^[e]
CODAG-WARP [r]: Combined Diesel and Gas - Water Jet and Refined Propeller marine propulsion system ^[e]
Azipod [r]: Add brief definition or description

Injector [r]: A device that uses the Venturi effect of a converging-diverging nozzle to convert the pressure energy of a motive fluid to velocity energy which creates a low pressure zone that draws in and entrains a suction fluid and then recompresses the mixed fluids by converting velocity energy back into pressure energy. ^[e]
Surface condenser [r]: A water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger for condensing the exhaust steam from large steam turbines. ^[e]
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird [r]: An advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Lockheed YF-12A and A-12 aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. ^[e]
United States Coast Guard [r]: Add brief definition or description
