She was powered by two [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] geared [[steam turbine]]s, each driving one [[propeller shaft]], using steam provided by three [[Admiralty three-drum boiler]]s. The turbines developed a total of {{convert|38000|shp|lk=on}} and were intended to give a maximum speed of {{convert|36|kn|lk=in}}.<ref name=l6/> ''Inglefield'' reached a speed of {{convert|36.7|kn}} from {{cvt|38081|shp}} during her [[sea trial]]s.<ref>March, p. 315</ref> The ship carried enough [[fuel oil]] to give her a range of {{convert|5500|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|15|kn}}.
