I note that in the GQ3 Amendment 1 ship logs, the Battleships BB40 New Mexico and BB41 Mississippi (BB 42 Idaho, of the same class, is not listed) are shown as having Unit Engineering.  I guess this would be justified for New Mexico, having turbo-electric propulsion, but Mississippi had steam turbines (as had all previous US BBs back to BB37 USS Oklahoma).  Would I be correct in thinking that Mississippi, Idaho and older Standard BBs should not be credited with UE?
