Interesting, Thanks for posting.
Diesel engines are great to torque apps.

Those U-boat diesels were very well made. I remember doing the tour at MSI in Chicago where they have a walk through U-boat. Worth the time if you are there.

In the present reading rotation "World War II at Sea" -- fascinating stuff.

I have been to the MSI -- spent a couple years in grad school in Chicago.

I won the "Navy Science Cruiser Award" Through the National Science Fair in 1968 or 69 (I'd have to go find the papers to be sure).

Free four day trip to New London CT. It included a tour of a "Pig Boat" Slang for DE sub, and a trip on a Cruiser.

The DE sub was fascinating. Tiny things.

The engines were indeed something to behold.
