Re: BIG DIESEL - SKOOLS CHECK IT OUT!
TinMan, either that was a Navy ship or one of the old SL-7 containerships?
Anybody ever hear of the SS United States? It was a cruise ship with what was effectively an aircraft carrier power plant. It was capable of making 268,000 hp. Think of what that plant burned. Also, it's a steam plant and they burn roughly twice the fuel as a similarly powered diesel plant.
