Default I Didn't Know This

I happened to come across a recent copy of "Sea Classics" magazine the other day, and they happened to have several articles about US sub operations in the Pacific. In any case, one of the articles stated that the arly Gatos were prone to engine problems. I was surprised to learn that a dozen early Gatos were fitted with a copy of the German MAN Diesel engine. These engines were manufactured under license, by HOR.
