I'm working my way through improving USN destroyer class articles, and I noticed your comment about steam conditions on the Mahan-class talk page. I'm including steam conditions for each class in an "Engineering" subsection where I have a good reference for them. Basically, steam conditions increased rapidly from 300 psi saturated in the Clemsons of the 1920s through 600 psi/850 F in the Fletchers. A guide to the increase with each class is at 1500 ton comparison at DestroyerHistory.org. This site also includes the shipyards' General Information Books for many of the lead ships, some of which give steam conditions. The steam conditions for the lead ships are listed in the appendices of Friedman's US Destroyers: An Illustrated Design History. There seems to be some variation among ships of a class, as some Mahans are listed at 400 psi and others at 465 psi. Hope this helps. RobDuch ( talk) 02:42, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, would you happen to be the same user as Wfoj2 ( talk · contribs)? Along with the near-identical name, I see that you started editing just weeks after the other account stopped, back in 2013. - wolf 07:33, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
