It's a Wartsila NSD (Sulzer) RTA96-C two-stroke diesel engine and produces 109,000 brake horsepower.. It is for container ships that run on heavy fuel oil.

I have seen the making of this engine and what is neat is you can shut a cylinder down and work on it while the engine is running.

Heck no!! The US does not not make anything for the shipping industry, or anything anymore. Look at the name of the rig towing this will give you a clue.
