"Largest engine ever"? Hardly. That's not a midget at the lower left of this pic. You wouldn't believe the size of the largest supercritical boilers. Of course, they are hard to squeeze into a ship engine room and you really don't need an 80 knot megaship.

Can you expound on what part of that qualifies it as an “engine”?

Not a question of need.

It's a question of want, and me want.
