Gotya Peter.
(and Hi!)

I was thinking some MECHANICIAN (2) trying to stick an engine on a boat...
One of my projects has been stepping Car Wars design system down to 
petrol/diesel engines from the hypothetical fule cell stuff.
I just got a catalogue this week for the really big stuff like 20 cylinder, 
3000 HP @ 1900 RPM Detroit Diesel engines so I guess I've got that stuck on 
my brain.

I remember both of those games.
Didn't AH come out with a early computer game licensed under the Wooden 
Ships & Iron Men title?
One could target the hull, rigging, or personel as I recall w/different 
loads of shot in the guns.
