Power for Floating classrooms: Mack Boring & Parts Co. supplies Yanmar diesel engines for Navy's newest MK II sail training vessels

摘要

When the U.S. Naval Academy needed to build a new fleet of sail training craft (STC), it partnered with Mack Boring & Parts Co. for the onboard diesel power. The new vessels are used to train midshipmen in all aspects of sailing as well as diesel engine operation and maintenance. The Navy 44 ft. MK II vessels replaces the MK I fleet built approximately 25 years ago.
