the twin funnel or stack arrangement had nothing to do with 2 turbines but with the two boilers. She had the common high and low pressure single shaft arrangement. Same as her near-sisters "Drupa" and "Darina".
I worked on both "Drupa" and "Darina" as a young mechanic apprentice. Long time ago....!
Just to mention: She has been built by DW/Deutsche Werft in Hamburg-Finkenwerder and not at Howaldts.
Thanks for posting
Jürgen
