Thank you.Not so good at getting those links to work.I had remembered reading somewhere a long time ago where they had used these engines as back-ups.Not bad for a seventy year old engine,is it?

Indeed, this is very interesting.
The U-boats have the best looking engines in my opinion.

Look at the size of the transmission wheel. i can imagine the huge power of this engine running inside a small pressure hull .
