		Screw and paddle-wheel gunboats of 2 to 6 guns numbered 197.
		In France, the fleet numbered thirty-seven screw liners of up to 130 guns each; fifteen screw frigates and eighty-four steam corvettes and sloops, plus at least twenty-five gunboats.
		There were ten screw line-of-battle ships, nine screw frigates, and twenty-six screw sloops and corvettes.

	Propeller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		David Bushnell's invention of the submarine (the Turtle) in 1775 utilized hand-powered screws for vertical and horizontal propulsion.
		Initial designs owed much to the ordinary screw from which their name derived - early propellers consisted of only two blades and matched in profile the length of a single screw rotation.
		In the early days of steam power for ships, when both paddle wheels and screws were in use, ships were often characterized by their type of propellers, leading to terms like or screw sloop.

	Screw Propellers
		In the course of the two succeeding years, she was tried with a great many different screws, and numerous experiments were made to discover the length, diameter, pitch, and number of blades of the screw, most effective in all the various conditions of wind and sea.
		A screw of two blades, each equal to one-sixth part of a convolution, and of a uniform pitch, was, on the whole, found to be the most efficient, and this was the screw adopted in most of the ships of all classes in the British navy.
		This effect is greatly increased when the clearance given to the screw in the dead-wood is too small; for the reduction of the hydrostatic pressure at the stern-post, and the increase of it at the rudder-post, on each passage of the blades, must be followed by concussion.

	Royal Navy Sloops
		History of the Royal Naval Sloops from the early Fantome, Osprey and Doterel classes of the 19th Century to the Bittern and Black Swan Classes of the Second World War.
		Royal Navy Sloops came back into existence soon after the outbreak of world war one, when the Admiralty realised it required extra ships for general service which could be used for mine sweeping, escort duties.
		The Sloops were used exclusively for Mine sweeping until 1917 when they were re assigned for Convoy duties as well.

		James Watt of Birmingham, England is generally credited with applying the very first screw propeller to an engine, an early steam engine, so the idea of engine propulsion utilising a hydrodynamic screw was born.
		He used it with his Steam engine although the screw propeller in itself can be traced to the time of the Egyptians by way of Leonardo da Vinci.
		The first screw propeller to be powered by a petrol engine, fitted to a small boat (now known as Powerboat was installed by Frederick William Lanchester also from Birmingham, England.

		USS Housatonic was a screw sloop-of-war of the United States Navy, named for one of the rivers of New England which rises in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and flows southward into Connecticut before emptying into Long Island Sound a little east of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
		The beauty of this method was that the reaction which drove the screw released oxygen, which when treated was used in the hull for the crew and also fed an auxiliary steam engine that helped propel the craft under water.

		Sea duty came in a succession of ships: the steam sloop Powhatan in the Pacific Squadron (1865-1868); the steam sloop Tuscarora on the North Atlantic Station (1869); and the steam sloop Mohican on the Pacific Station (1870-1871).
		During his time in the last-named ship, he was assigned to temporary command of the wooden-hulled, screw gunboat Nyack for six months during 1870.
		The following year, Glass took command of the screw sloop Wachusett, on the Pacific Station, before he began a tour at the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, Calif., in 1883.

		Following a series of demonstrations of the feasibility of screw propulsion by John Ericsson (with the 45-foot launch Frances B. Ogden), Francis Petit Smith (with the 34-launch Francis Smith and the 237-ton Archimedes), and others in the late 1830s, the Admiralty Board ordered the construction of its first screw steamer in 1840.
		The ultimate contest between screw and paddle propulsion was actually a series of races between Rattler and Alecto, another paddle half-sister.
		Although this is frequently cited as the turning point in the Admiralty's thinking about screw propulsion, it had already ordered seven screw frigates, as well as other smaller ships, and the first screw battleship, HMS Ajax, was about to be laid down.

		[15] Gefle was one of the early screw warships in the world and as Swedish naval expenditures for new construction in the 1840s were strictly limited it is interesting that a substantial part of them were spent on a radically new type of ship.
		It is probable that the fact that a Swedish engineer had a key position in the development of the screw and that a full-scale screw warship had already been built to his design made it easier to introduce the screw in the Swedish navy than in some other navies.
		The screw had by the late 1850s clearly made a major contribution, indeed the only major contribution to the modernisation of the Swedish navy.

		The screw sloop BROOKLYN was in the lead of the wooden vessels, having been fitted with an anti-torpedo shield called a "cowcatcher".
		The smaller wooden vessels were lashed to the big screw sloops to provide mutual protection from cannon fire, and allow one vessel to tow the other out of harm's way if a chance shot hit a boiler.
		The screw sloop ONEIDA had taken a shot in her boiler, to be towed into the bay by the gunboat GALENA lashed to her side.
