[AT] Gas turbines

[CEE VILL]

I do not know anything about gas turbine engines, but the note below caught 
my eye.  A good friend sent me this link because his nephew will take 
command of this destroyer this summer.

I have to wonder what the gallons per mile rating is.  I guess I am seeing 
this as 25,000 HP per engine. In a tractor, that should haul an implement 
around one mile wide, maybe ??
