The United States Coast Guard Historican's Office (at http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/Kangaroo1919.pdf) reports this propulsion plant, but also reports that Kangaroo had a top speed of only 13 knots. The Dictionary of Naval Fighting Ships (at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/k1/kangaroo-i.htm) and NavSource Online (at http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/171284.htm) do not mention Kangaroo's propulsion plant, but credit her with a top speed of 21 knots. It is not clear whether or how her propulsion differed during her time in U.S. Navy service or why her top speed would have dropped so much during her U.S. Coast Guard service unless her propulsion was changed in some unreported way.
