The M/S Mount Washington is in good hands and they all know very well just what they are doing.
Some are concerned about what the new engines will sound like...
Picture this... I've been working on engines, including Cat and All brands of Diesel engines for very close to sixty years. Caterpillar always had their very own unique sound.
Now, the interesting thing to me is that the twin 1500 horsepower Cats with the four turbos wining through the exhaust system will sound more like a 747! They may need to add mufflers after the catalytic exhaust to deal with this.
Yet here again I am sure that they have this all figured out, and that any of us that wants to take an afternoon nap will not be be disturbed when she passes by, although I would want the Captain to sound her hornes to awake me so that I could listen to them sweet sound'in Kitty Cats!
