In the mid-1940s the British admiralty was looking for a new high speed, high power diesel to use in their motor torpedo boats, they turned to Napier to come up with a new engine and the result was the most powerful diesel in the world for its size and weight that went on to power Navy boats, locomotives and even the most powerful fire engine pump in the world. This is the story of the Napier Deltic super diesel engine.
