There are three Ferries in BC Ferries ' fleet which fit into the Burnaby class. They are the ''Queen Of Burnaby'' , ''Queen Of New Westminster'' , and ''Queen Of Nanaimo'' . These ferries were stretched by 84 feet (26 m) to increase their car carrying capacity. All are propelled by Controllable Pitch Propellers . All were built with Mirrlees National KVSSM, V-16, 4 stroke-cycle, diesel engines, producing 3000 brake horsepower (2,200 kW) at 320 revolutions per minuite. The ''Queen of New Westminster'' damaged a crankshaft beyond repair and was re-engined with four Wartsila engines. At this time, the New West was also lifted, adding a second upper cardeck similar to the other V class vessels. As a result, she is no longer considered as a "Burnaby" class vessel.
