I fixed the link for HMS Florizel. I would have preferred to change Florizel's article title, but I have not figured out how to do that, other that start a new article from scratch, which might have been easier anyways. Then I have not figured out how to delete the old article either.--Plmerry (talk) 09:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

number of engines?

[edit]

navsource states 2xdiesel electric drive.

but it only makes sense if there were 4 diesel engines. A 12-278A cannot generate 1500shp by itself.

hard to find a source on the engine layout of the Auks.

see also: navsource on abnaki engines. there they say it's 4 engines (for a 3000shp diesel-electric boat).
