It also states that on the original link I gave.

"These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them."

thats dope! would be a blast to work on one of those i think! 102rpm is alot if you think about it. a crank journal the size of a person moving like 1.5 times a second thats pretty impressive! i think its awesome!

HAHAHAHA! Ya I've seen this beast betore. I'd love to have a copy of that dyno chart just to throw down next time some cocky idiot starts runnin his mouth about numbers for his car. You be like, "You got proof? Well here's mine. That's right kids. 5.6 MILLION ft/lbs of torque. You otta see the half shafts in THAT beast..." He'll look stupid, and you'll...okay YOU'LL look stupid, but hey. "It'd be a lot cooler if you did..."
