Loudest turbos in the world? Torpedo Boat T56 5000hp Dieselpower [HQ]

A short film full of torpedo boat action. Follow T56 and her sisters on a journey through the Stockholm archipelago. These boats makes people clapping hands and some angry because the noise and smoke. Built in the 40s and the 50s and restored back to original makes them unique in the world to actually be fully functional even in 2022.
The motor torpedo-boat T56 was built in 1957 in a dockyard in Stockholm. T56 is part of the T42 series that comprises T42 through T56. The main supplier was the Kockums Company in Malmoe, although four ships in the series were built at the Stockholm’s Oerlogsvarv (the naval dockyard in Stockholm).
T56 was in the service of the Royal Swedish Navy until 1973 and was discarded in 1984 and then sold to a private person.
Since December 2003 T56 is owned by the Stiftelsen Motortorpedbaaten T56 (a Trust organisation) and has returned to previous home port 25 kilometres south of Stockholm at the former marine base Gaaloe. The aim of the trust is to keep the ship in its original shape and to distribute knowledge about the historical role of the motor torpedo-boat.
The motor torpedo-boat T56 has the following main characteristics:
· Hull: V-formed bottom
· Over-all length: 23 meters
· Over-all width: 5.9 meters
· Draft: 1.5 meters
· Displacement: 43 tons
· Motors: 3 CRM 18D/SS (+1650hp/each)
· Speed: 50 knots
· Crew: 16 persons
· Weapons:
- 2 torpedoes, 53 centimetres
- 1 canon, Bofors 40 millimetres, model m/36
- 2 machine guns, model m/36
- 57 millimetres flare and chaff rockets
· Radar: PS 631

The loudest turbos I have dealt with as an engineer were on a 6800 hp Mississippi river tow boat. ear plugs won't help even at idle. The props (wheels) were 9 ft diameter. Engines (2) twin V-16 EMD 645F locomotive engines 645 cubic inch per cylinder. My ears still ring nine years later.

I love those PT boats and watched McHale's Navy as a kid just for them. I'm a retired auto mechanic and those engines had a beautiful, throaty hum to me, too. And you sure could tell when those turbos lit off. The American PT boats had triple Packard 4m-2500, supercharged, 100 octane, V-12, gasoline-fueled engines.

[@Tonyx.yt.]

LJ Prep seems legit since diesel engine is too efficient for murica, so why dont put gasoline engine feed with high octane lol

[@Mercmad]

Back then,Diesels couldn't provide the instant power on required for fast attack boats like these . It was only with the advent of the Napier Deltic Diesels that Diesel engines could get the required Torque and Revs required .Plus America produced fuel at the same price as water...

Not sure about the McHale's Navy boats, but the one's in "They Were Expendable," were the real deal.
