Turn and Burn
To clarify the U.S. Navy term mentioned in another definition, it specifically referred to the ship's shafts/screws 'turning' and the boilers 'burning' and the phrase is in fact used (even though there aren't many steam-powered ships left) to indicate working hard, and steady momentum.
