Well, there are a lot of EMDs and Detroit Diesels operating on inland and coastal waters. While not large bore, they certainly are two stroke. . . and you are correct. For a proper engineer, and engine is and engine and a valve is a valve. . . . I sailed as an engineer on both steam and diesel plants, Large bore slow speed and medium speed diesels. . . and somehow I didn’t tear up TOO much stuff. . . .
