[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by willy6 In 1972, I was stationed aboard the USS Corporal SS-346 out of New London. I had 4 Gm 16 cyl. diesels engines. They were connected to electric motors which could be used for propolsion and battery charging. On my first nuke sub in 1974, they had the ole Fairbanks Morse opposing piston engines. In my opinion the GM,s were more reliable in marine applications. [/quote] Willy [:)] Thanks for the post. Now I have a question? [?] Was the sub powered by nuclear power and the diesels just standby and emergency power or were the diesels the normal power? [?]
