ApharHa,
That's interesting. The Louisiana was commisioned in 1996 and it has an engine that old in it? Does it function as the subs emergency generator? Thanks for the reply by the way.

@bassturkey SSBN 743 still has a 1948 ND FM.

So does this in fact run on diesel, or heavy fuel oil? How many gallons or pounds/hr does it consume at full load?

@MadMichigander1313 do you mean B&W its ok i get them confused sometimes but yea there are big engines
-
@MadMichigander1313 Maybe you mean one of the latest Sulzers, as in the main propulsion for Emma Maersk?
I think we have two of the engines your talking about their FM O.P engines, op meaning opposed piston, next time we run I will video one from start up to online
