	Dear Sir,

    Many thanks for your reply to my query, but however the ship my father
    served on was a Knot class ship, this I'm sure of. Before he passed
    away I was fortunate enough to do some commercial fishing up in Alaska
    and sailed the inside passage on a vessel named the "Yardarm Knot"
    also of the "Knot" class. She was ~365 feet and (I may be wrong)
    ~2800 tonnes. The main was a Nordberg 6 cylinder two stroke diesel,
    started by compressed air. I would fire both clockwise and counter-
    clockwise by advancing and reatadind the cam and starting her up
    in that particular manner(CW, CCW) for fore and aft thrust. She also
    had Enterprise for storke DC generators. Not quite a T-AK.
    However if you have any other information that would be helpfull
    to my query, please feel free to email me at eprice@sagpd1.

					Many Thanks,

					Eric Price
