Ships typically have their propellers located at the stern to optimize maneuverability and efficiency. Positioning the propeller at the rear allows for better control of the vessel's direction and reduces turbulence that can affect propulsion. Additionally, this placement minimizes the risk of damage from underwater obstacles and allows for a smoother flow of water into the propeller. Overall, it enhances the ship's performance and stability while navigating.

Is the propeller shaft the same as the stern tube shaft?
The propeller shaft in a boat engine is fastened to the flywheel by bolts, and it passes through the boat's thrust block and is aligned with the shaft tunnel. It also passes through the stern tube to drive the propeller. The stern tube shaft itself holds the "prop" shaft in place and shut off the open end when it pierces the aft hull. It is commonly manufactured as cast iron and welded into the frame of the stern of the ship.
Does a ship have transmission to run the propeller?
Some ships do. It is called a reduction gear and takes power from the engine and transmits it to the shaft and propeller. Other ships use direct drive, electric motors, steam or other schemes to power the propeller.
