what are those things used for? aircraft carriers?

 

They are used for the largest container ships. The engine is built in Japan.

 

That's a big engine... but at 89 feet I don't think you could put that on/in anything on the road without a direct drive like a ship uses.... A tranny to handle that wouldn't even be feesable

 

I had seen that before but I'm still amazed at the sheer size of it......beyond awesome.

 

The new generation oil tankers use them

 

wWOW!!!!!!!
