Yes.

Actually very good.  They're led by a Chief Engineer WW2 LST snipe
who just turned 87 and he's as healthy and strong as a horse!

The rest of the snipes are Viet Nam enginemen plus sons of
WW2 LST vets.  They do a great job with the GM567 V-12 diesels.
I'm presently aboard the ship working on getting the TCK modulator
up to snuff.  The tube gear helps keep the RR warm which is helpful
during November. :-)  Next project is getting the TT-39G (mod15)
clacking away again with the SGC-1 TU.
