Hmmm... I wonder what the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption numbers would
be. We could look at the cost per mile per ton of payload, too. When
you look at it that way, even a container ship at 15kts gets good fuel
economy.
That looks like it might be a Pratt&Whitney engine designation, but I
can't find any info on it after a cursory google search.
I...must...know...
