The 'availability' of any Naval vessel is dependent on its mobility and the failure of any link in the propulsion plant chain is critical. In any vessel fitted with a steam propulsion system, the boiler feed pump is one of the essential elements whose continuous trouble free availability and operation, is of paramount importance. Against this background, the development of the feed pump is reviewed. Past and present practices will be examined, the role of the feed pump both in its operation and design are explored, leading to an attempt to predict future trends in pump design and operation.
