Much of her superstructure is made of aluminum to cut down weight and lessen the ship's roll. In her compact white engine rooms (two separate rooms to lessen the danger from torpedoes in time of war), oil-fired boilers supply high-pressure steam to power the turbines that drive four giant propellers.
