the 560-3,655kWb power range.

Paxman says its engines, renowned for their ease of maintenance and long time between overhauls, are the ideal military solution for pro- pulsion and on-board power gen- eration duties. Paxman engines are specified by more than 50 of the world's navies. The U.S. has cho- sen the Valenta 16 CM engines, producing 2,500 kWb (3,350 hp) at 1,500 rpm as propulsion units for its Cyclone-class patrol vessels. The

U.S. Coast Guard also uses the

Valenta 16 CM to power 37 of its

Island class cutters.
