SAN FRANCISCO (Marco Shipyard) "You just won't believe how quiet it is - as quiet as my living room!. At idle rpm you cannot feel the engines running, and can barely tell they are running during acceleration. It is the same in the lounge above the engine room. Our people are extremely happy with the results, as are the San Francisco Bar Pilots"

Bob McMahon, Shipyard General Manager "During tests, vibration measurements were dispensed with, as no vibration even approaching objectionable levels could be found"

Chuck Cannon, Naval Architect
