•ger four-stroke diesel engine ilders.

Although eight large LNG-carri- s have been placed in France and nland, all of the main machinery ill be supplied from Japan, by itsubishi and Kawasaki. It is sig- ificant that Hyundai of South Ro- sa, which has entered the large as-carrier field with its usual en- rgy, recently acquired a license from litsubishi to manufacture steam turbines of Mitsubishi design. Evi- dently the European engine shops, many of which were building steam turbines years ago, do not foresee any future in reviving the activity; this in spite of encouraging newbuilding forecasts by respected consultants.

Diesel Electric

Ten of the 16 largest cruise ships presently on order will be propelled by diesel-electric machinery. That eight of them are for four different shipowning groups, each with some years of experience, is proof enough of the benefits this propulsion sys- tem offers. A cruise ship, particu- larly one engaged in worldwide op- erations, is required to operate over a broad band of speeds, while the generating capacity needed to sup- port the hotel services for large pas- senger and crew complements has risen markedly. In the past the machinery for these duties has been quite separate, but a central source of power which can be run for maxi- mum flexibility and economy is now indicated.

All of the ships mentioned above, and a number already in service in- cluding the QE2, converted from steam turbines to diesel-electric eight years ago, have and will have

MORE POWER FOR YOU

With increased horsepower, more engine choices, and an expanding on-water service network, Deere

Power is better than ever.

Additions include the 300 hp 6076AFM and 195 and 220 hp 6068TFM. Unlike some, these quiet, dependable, smooth-running diesels don't scream for your attention. But their fuel- efficient, high-torque, powerful performance will have you taking notice.

The Deere Power fleet includes seven 4- and 6- cylinder diesels in naturally-aspirated, turbo- charged, and aftercooled configurations. All are loaded with features that'll help keep your boat on the water, and your business on an even keel.

For reliable auxiliary, gen-set or propulsion power from 70-300 hp, see your John Deere marine dealer or engine distributor. Or call Deere
