This is one of the most terrifying finds in history. A few notes from a qualified #LAClass Diesel Operator. #SubSunday #Submarines
Submarine diesel engines are some of the oldest and most impressive pieces of technology used by any navy. Every country has their own native built diesels and they are MASSIVE. Photo of the #LAClass @FairbanksMorse 38 1/8" during a tear down. 38=Year 1938. 
I have shot live torpedoes and tomahawks... I have witnessed reactor startups... I have attacked battle-groups... sank a few carriers... and nothing was as amazing as starting up the diesel for the first time by myself.
