"She was ... converted to a 600bhp motor engine ... The following year, she was ... converted ... to a seine trawler; after conversion, she was lengthened to 151.2 feet, with a ... 408 BHP engine ... "
Why is the first engine power "bhp" and the second "BHP"? For consistency, both should be one or the other! It seems that the former (lower case) is preferred ... I have yet to find an instance of "BHP". Incidentally, the Concise Oxford Dictionary gives "b.h.p." as the short form of "brake horsepower".
