Hyundai A engine. The Hyundai A engine also known by its engine code D4CB is a 2.5L diesel 4-cylinder automobile engine produced by Hyundai Motor Group from 2002 up to the present. This is one of the first diesel engines designed and developed solely by Hyundai without any license from any other car manufacturer.

The A line of engines feature four cylinders compacted graphite iron block and aluminum cylinder head unit, with chain driven dual overhead camshafts operating four valves per cylinder. Fuel is supplied to the unit using Bosch 2nd-generation common rail direct injection (CRDi) through piezoelectric injectors operating at  for the A I series while it was increased to  for the A II series with the latter having been equipped with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) with some models having a Wastegate (WGT) instead.

As the older A models were rated below their intended Euro rating (A I series rated for Euro 3 is taxed for Euro 2, while earlier A II series rated for Euro 4 is taxed for Euro 3), to achieve the intended Euro 5 emission and taxation compliancy, the later A II series from 2011-onwards is fitted with a standard Diesel particulate filter to meet the intended emissions standards.

A I series
The  A I was produced from 2002 through 2006. Typical output is  at 3800 rpm. Bore and stroke is . It was available with either 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmissions.

Applications
 Hyundai Starex (2002–2006)
 Hyundai Porter (2006–2012)
 Kia Sorento (2002–2008)
 Kia Bongo (2006–2012)

A II series
The  A II is produced since 2007. Cylinder bore and stroke is . This series saw the introduction of a variable geometry turbocharger as an improvement from the initial traditional turbocharger of the A I while some later models shifted to a wastegate instead for some markets.

Sometime in 2008 through 2021 some engines are designated as D4CB-L A II which was a low-power version that is rated only for  instead of the usual . 2011 models and beyond are also equipped with a standard particulate filter for emission compliance purposes.

Applications
 Hyundai Starex (2007–2021)
 Hyundai H350 (2014–present)

HMS Minstrel (J445). HMS Minstrel (J445) was a reciprocating engine-powered  during the Second World War. She survived the war and was sold to Thailand in 1947 as HTMS Phosamton (MSF-1).

Design and description

The reciprocating group displaced  at standard load and  at deep load The ships measured  long overall with a beam of . They had a draught of . The ships' complement consisted of 85 officers and ratings.

The reciprocating ships had two vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of  and gave a maximum speed of . They carried a maximum of  of fuel oil that gave them a range of  at .

The Algerine class was armed with a QF  Mk V anti-aircraft gun and four twin-gun mounts for Oerlikon 20 mm cannon. The latter guns were in short supply when the first ships were being completed and they often got a proportion of single mounts. By 1944, single-barrel Bofors 40 mm mounts began replacing the twin 20 mm mounts on a one for one basis. All of the ships were fitted for four throwers and two rails for depth charges.

Construction and career

Service in the Royal Navy 
The ship was ordered on 15 March 1943 at the Redfern Construction Company at Toronto, Canada. She was laid down on 27 June 1944 and launched on 5 October 1944. She was commissioned on 7 June 1945.

On 9 April 1947, a turning over ceremony from the Royal Navy to Royal Siamese Navy was held in the naval dockyard of Singapore. She was commissioned later that year on 20 November.

Service in the Royal Thai Navy 
On 4 April 1953, she was reclassified as a training ship for cadets. Along with the cadets, the ship traveled to Europe for Naval Cadets training and joined the Sea Review on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation day on 2 June.

In 1966, she underwent refit which replaced her main gun with a single Bofors 40 mm gun, two dual Bofors 40 mm Mark 24 guns and two DCT radars.

Her pennant number was later changed to MSC-415, somewhere after 1969.

In 1984, the ship again underwent refit which replaced her main gun with a 3"/50 caliber Mark 22 gun, one single Bofors 40 mm Mark 3 gun, two single Oerlikon 20 mm Mark 10 cannons and a Raytheon 1500B navigation radar.

Her pennant number was again changed to MSC-611, somewhere before 2002.

The ship was decommissioned in 2012 and since then, in October later that year, she was turned into a museum ship and now permanently moored at Nong Bua, Mueang Chanthaburi District, Chanthaburi.

On 13 May 2019, Royal Thai Navy had sent high-ranking officials to inspect the ship for the ship's condition. It was noted that the ship has been in disrepair for a long time and they would be finding a solution to repair her.

Egyptian frigate Mehemet Ali. Mehemet Ali was a steam frigate of the navy of the Khedivate of Egypt.  She was probably built in England and was launched circa 1860.  Mehemet Ali deployed to Port Said in 1874 to support Egyptian Army forces under General Charles Pomeroy Stone during a dispute with the Suez Canal Company.  She served as an escort to troopships during the 1877 Russo-Turkish War and was laid up in 1880.

Design and construction 
Mehemet Ali was built circa 1860, probably in England.  She was named after Muhammad Ali of Egypt who ruled Egypt from 1805 to 1848.  Mehemet Ali displaced 1,735 tons and was propelled by three masts and a steam engine of 800 nominal horsepower. She was  long, with a beam of  and a depth in the hold of . She was armed with 20x Krupp 4.7 inch guns and 10x 40-pounder breech loading guns and was iron hulled.

Service 
In October 1864 Mehemet Ali carried the wife of Isma'il Pasha, viceroy of Egypt, from the Bosphorus to Alexandria.  Mehemet Ali was posted to Port Said in April 1874 to support forces, under General Charles Pomeroy Stone of the Egyptian Army, mobilised because of a dispute over tolls between the Khedive and the Suez Canal Company.  The affair ended with the company accepting the new, lower toll rates.

On 19 January 1877 Mehemet Ali was in harbour at Constantinople when the British merchant steamship Joseph Love was driven onto her by the wind.  The Joseph Love sank with the loss of one of her crew drowned.  Some 12 crewmen scrambled onto the Mehemet Ali and were aided by her crew; the remaining eight crew of the Joseph Love, including her captain, escaped by ship's boat.  The Egyptians provided dinner to the shipwrecked men before they were handed over to a Royal Navy ship.  Mehemet Ali was damaged badly at her bow and, having taken on a large quantity of water, was beached on the Kourou-tehesmé Shoal to save her from sinking.

The Mehemet Ali helped escort transports carrying Egyptian forces to the Russo-Turkish War in 1877.  By this time she was described by one former navy officer as "as much good as a cardboard box".  Mehemet Ali was laid up in December 1880.

Fate 
Mehemet Ali had her machinery removed from her in around 1890 and was employed as a stationary guardship at Alexandria. She was discarded in around 1898.
