I fixed the link for HMS Florizel. I would have preferred to change Florizel's article title, but I have not figured out how to do that, other that start a new article from scratch, which might have been easier anyways. Then I have not figured out how to delete the old article either.-- Plmerry ( talk) 09:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
navsource states 2xdiesel electric drive.
but it only makes sense if there were 4 diesel engines. A 12-278A cannot generate 1500shp by itself.
hard to find a source on the engine layout of the Auks.
see also: navsource on abnaki engines. there they say it's 4 engines (for a 3000shp diesel-electric boat).
see also: http://www.alternatewars.com/Archives/Ships_Data_USN/Ships_Data.htm for a bureau of ships primary source on Auk horsepower and engine types. 158.181.81.168 ( talk) 12:32, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
