| Fig. 3.26 Watertight door | Fig. 3.27 Remote Controls | Fig. 3.25 Main Engine Controls |
The main engines are operated from the control room or from the flying bridge by remote controls. It is not necessary to keep a permanent watch in the engine room, provided periodical inspections are carried out. All tanks that are located in the engine room are situated in-such a manner that they are easily accessible and away from any hot exhaust or other unsuitable surroundings. Rubber hose connections and Aeroquip flexible lines are used throughout the installation to resist vibration. All piping, wiring and control systems passing through the bulkheads are made watertight. More detailed descriptions for the main and auxiliary engines are given in section IV.
The main engines are installed port and starboard of center line with the output coupling facing aft. Power is transmitted from the engine to the thrust block and then to the propeller shaft. The Deltic engines are manufactured by D, Napier & Son Ltd., England. The type T28-37 is a 18 cylinder, straight forward, high speed, two stroke, uniflow engine that is pressure charged and liquid cooled. The rated output at 2100 rpm is 3100 b.h.p. The engine is fitted with a bi-directional gearbox with a ratio of 1.8574:1 both clockwise and counter clock- wise. The Deltic engines acquire the name from the inverted delta or triangular configuration of the cylinders, each cylinder block forming a side of an equilateral triangle with a crankcase at each corner. As the engine is an opposed-piston type, this arrangement enables each crankshaft to adjacent cylinders, two connecting rods being attached to each crank throw.

Phase gearings at the driving end links the three (3) crank shafts, and combines the outputs in a common drive to the hydraulically operated forward and reverse clutch, and the reduction gear output coupling. The two (2) engines are similar and to obtain opposite rotations of the propeller, oil pipes for the hydraulic clutch merely to be cross connected on one of the engines. Any engine can then be used in the port or starboard position. For further engine details see "Deltic Maintenance Manual" publication 505 supplied on board.
THE THRUST BLOCKS supplied by D. Napier & Son Ltd. are supplied with thrust pads and are mounted for left and right hand installation. It is important that the correct hand of thrust pads are used. For further details see "Michell Thrust Blocks Operation and Maintenance Manual."
THE CARDAN SHAFT'S are connected to the engine flanges and the thrust block input flanges. The shaft is fitted with two sets of gear couplings. The clearances between the gear teeth are such as to allow for some movement between engine and thrust block due to the flexible mounting of the engines.
THE COMPRESSORS are mounted on foundations built on the starboard side of the engine compartment above the engine room walk level. There are two (2) Ingersol-Rand, mode1 231x 2 air compressors with 450 psi capacity used. The air compressor feeds two (2) certified 3 cu. ft. tanks also placed on the starboard side of the engine room. From the air compressors the air is fed to the control panel, through the main engine starting controls in the control room, and back to the engines. All penetrations through any watertight bulkhead are installed watertight. For further information on the air compressors refer to the "Ingersoll-Rand Maintenance Manual."
The oil coolers and heat exchangers are installed on foundations fastened to the bottom frames one on each side of the boat center line below the floor- boards. The oil coolers and heat exchangers are manufactured by Serck Radiators Ltd, They are two separate units and are bolted together, making a single unit. They are constructed of cylinders having both inlet and outlet connections for the oil and coolant and have end caps fitted to enclose the tube stacks. The seawater flows through tube stacks that are built up from many smaller tubes. The sea water is pumped by engine driven pumps to the heat exchanger through the silencers, resonators and overboard. Thermostatic valves regulate the temperatures of the coolant and oil. Two (2) lube oil tanks are located in the engine compartment and a description can be found in section 4 of this manual. Found in the engine compartment are 00-2 system outlets as described in section 6. For all piping and systems descriptions in the engine compartment refer to Section 4

Through the sight windows four (4) gauges are visible. They are: the starboard sea water pump discharge, the starboard bilge pump discharge, the port bilge pump discharge and the port sea water pump discharge. Directly on the starboard side of the console is the day tank fuel pump switch. Located on the side of the main control panel facing the console is the auxiliary engine starting switches, and the oil pressure and water temperature lights. Located at the sides of the console port and starboard are the air valves for starting. Located directly above the door to the engine compartment is the evaporator sea water pump switch and on the port side of the evaporator switch is the evaporator fresh water pump switch. Directly port of the evaporate switch is the aqua-purometer and the main switch. Directly to the port side of the watertight door to the engine compartment is locate electrical panel which is described in Section "5" Immediately beside the door to the hot water heater is located the CO-2 pull for engine room. On the forward wall of the control room is located the air circulation blower switch and the air conditioning and heating controls. Directly beside the door to the passage way is located electrical panel "4' and on the starboard wall is electrical panel "3". These panels are described in Section "5".
The main and auxiliary engines are fitted with a mechanical type remote control to the control room. The control system is designed to permit operation of the engines from either the control room or the bridge. The function of gear changing and speed selection is carried out by a lever from either the control room or the bridge. The levers are connected in tandem through a single cable and function box to both the hydraulic governor and the hydraulic control unit. This arrangement permits the automatic selection of the correct engine speed during gear changing and the retention of the required gear during subsequent speed changes. For further information see "Deltic Maintenance Manual", publication 501. Main engine shut-down is accomplished by a hand operated shut down lever situated in the control room beside the speed control lever. When the lever is moved to "STOP" the shut- down cable moves the governor shut-down lever and shut-down probe lever, which in turn depresses the servo valve to stop the engine.

The hull, decks, superstructure, and all interior surfaces that are painted are first coated with a primer coat to a thickness of four mils.
The exterior hull from keel, including fixed appendages to the painted water line are painted as specified below to a minimum total dry film thickness of 10 plus 1 mils.
When the boat is delivered from the yard it is painted as specified, however the painted surfaces have to be maintained. The maintenance should be carried out before the paint is worn through. It is very important that the surfaces to be painted are clean and dry, as the paint is water resistant and will not penetrate the wet surface. Old loose paint, grease, and oil should be scraped off and the surfaces washed and thoroughly dried before new paint is added. Where the paint has been worn off priming paint in accordance with the specification should be used.
