The above (top) Facebook post appeared on my FB Timeline this morning. Caught my attention. I guess I had never given ‘it’, i.e., world’s largest engine, much thought. I should have. I will also confess, I had never really thought about what kind of engine/engines powered today’s giant ships. I had kind of assumed that they used a couple (or more) of fairly large engines.

Reading about this was great. Wow. Don’t fully appreciate the technicals but from the little I can gleam it is sure impressive.

Had to share it with you. Didn’t want YOU to miss it. OK? Cool?
