That is not nearly enough. These ships are heavy. To put it into perspective, 6,500 HP would be just enough to meet half the auxiliary power demand (eg, HVAC, electrical, motors, etc) on the 500-foot training ship I sailed on, which is a toy compared to commercial ships. Propulsion required a 60,000+ HP steam power plant.
