An Iowa-class battleship, such as the USS Iowa, typically held around 1,500 tons of fuel oil. This fuel capacity allowed the ship to operate at a maximum speed of about 33 knots for extended periods. The battleships were designed for long-range missions and required substantial fuel reserves to support their powerful engines and armaments during operations.

Yes. They were loaded aboard the HMS Rodney in May 1941 when the ship was sent to the Boston Navy Yard. The treasures were on the battleship when it engaged the Nazi battleship Bismarck. The battle exhausted the HMS Rodney's fuel, and it rebunkered in Greenock, Scotland. The Rodney thus replenished sailed for Halifax N.S., where presumably the marbles were removed. It then embarked for Boston for a much needed refit, which commenced on June 12, 1941.
