"Fairbanks-Morse built 'Opposed-Piston' "

3 years ago I delivered a surplus navy YTB class, 110" tug around from the right side and it had a 10 cylinder Fairbanks-Morse (OP) 'Opposed-Piston main engine, 2 cycle, 2000 HP. 10 cylinders and 20 pistons, with a crank on the top and bottom. The submarine at the San Francisco Maritime museum has an "OP" for a main engine also.

Kerry....Thanks for posting that, very interesting, talk about lots of parts flying around
