Quite unlike your toy Vauxhalls it looks as if the device on the ships is indeed an intercooler as it is placed between the low and high pressure turbines - unless I've misread the script.

You might also notice I made no comment on the heat exchanger so correction on that point is superfluous to say the least.

I can assure you sir almost every truck on the roads does have a inter cooler !
