Blimey!

How do they then install it in a ship? Sodding great winch?!?!

I'd have thought something like that would be made as bits, then
assembled in the hull of the ship, then the roof of the engine room
built, then the rest of the ship built on top...

Pity there isn't a picture of the spark plugs...

That was just the test assembly. They will take it apart and rebuild it
on the keel as the ship is being built around it.

It's a diesel. No spark plugs but I would sure like to see the starter
and Bendix gear. :-)
