May 1990 Maritime reporter issue p.34 about MTU

"By awarding the contract to MTU, the U.S. Navy has demonstrated its commitment to objectively evaluating technologically advanced components for future high-speed naval vessels," said Ray Carrell, MTU North America president and CEO.

"The 16V396TB94 engine, identical to those which recently powered the Gentry Eagle's record-breaking trans-Atlantic crossing, was selected for this program because of its outstanding performance characteristics and its proven reliability. In addition, MTU was chosen for its ability to provide a complete, system-engineered waterjet propulsion package.We are very pleased to be working with the U.S. Navy on this project and look forward to the advances it will bring to the field of high-performance ship design technology."

The 16V396TB94 engine is MTU's most advanced version of the highly regarded Series 396 diesel engine program, used widely in many high-performance marine applications throughout the world.
