@MARTINSMITH1001 The stern launching system was not successful , probably because you were dropping the torpedo into churning water with only primitive course setting+holding systems in the fish to stop it " Running wild " and I believe that ramp was removed fairly early on , which must have made for more room below to wrestle with the engines - the vestigal remains of the ramp is the space between those two big boxes on deck aft .
But that original layout meant she only ever had 2 engines .

the petrol engines today would cost £10,000 to fill up the tank ,in the war they would fill every other day ,

I USE TO BUILD BOATS LIKE THIS -WITHOUT TORPEDO TUBES- BASIC HULLS WITH DECKING- HELM- ENGINE STRINGERS- OPEN FRAMING, A- 3 MAN TEAM OF US COULD PUT OUT A HULL IN ABOUT 6 WKS ; I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PROPERTY CLOSE TO WATER AND GOING TO SET UP SHOP;; BELIEVE IT OR NOT BOATS ARE NOT REALLY THAT DIFFICULT TO DESIGN OR BUILD;;IT'S TRING TO APPLY OWNERS ORDER / WISHES / WANTS THAT MAKES IT ROUGH !!! GREAT LOOKING LINES AND VERY IMPRESSIVE SOUND; RR

has this been re-engined?
I can hear a turbo or is it just me?

@tpvalley . yes of course, the originals were petrol. I doubt what you can hear is turbos at those tick-over rpm.
MARTINSMITH1001 1 year ago
yes on larger diesels u can hear the turbos even at idle, my main question was trying to establish whether it had diesels fitted or not?
tpvalley 1 year ago
oh right .... well they're dirty great Cummins diesels. Originals were Isotta Fraschini 57litre petrols .. three of them, then Perkins and currently the Cummins 600HP each.
