Subject: RE: BS: Costa Concordia Sinking-2012
I stand corrected (error in last source)

I have two different sources, none official that there are six Wärtsilä diesel engines

The specs listed on Wikipedia show straight shafts & fixed pitch props. That data comes from: ^ RINA (2012). "Costa Concordia". Leonardo Info database. RINA Marine. Retrieved 2012-01-20.
