Yeah. The sound of two stroke diesels are awesome.

POWEEEEERR!! Hehe.. That's it really. Just read the wiki-link :) It was a British solution to a problem other mayhaps had solved before them.

Here we have a Hunt class minesweepeer, HMS Chiddingfold. Why? Because she is one of the last ships to use a Deltic.

Simplicity for large displacement 2 stroke engines. Also OPOC engines offer better scavenging for a 2 stroke engine design because the air/mixture flows axially in the cylinder rather than radially. That is, when the Pistons are at BDC (kind of a loose term in regard to OPOC) air flows from the intake port at one end of the cylinder to the exhaust port which is at the other end. As opposed to a regular 2 stroke where the ports are on either side of the cylinder.

Yeah, there's some sweet 2 stroke engine designs out there. The Detroit Diesel 71 series (and I think the 92 series also) used intake ports at the bottom of the stroke and regular poppet valves at the top for exhaust to get a similar effect. They stopped making those in the mid 90s though.
With all of the advances in fueling technology, I'm a little surprised 2 strokes aren't making a comeback. Many of the problems of 2 strokes can be overcome with closed crankcase ventilation, forced induction, and direct injection.

It looks like its massaging itself
