Detroit's were the OEM for twin charging, I dont know if they were first. A 2 stroke diesel needs a positive displacement pump to make the engine work, so they all have roots "blowers" (superchargers to the rest of us) to push the air through the engine.
now a blower is just a positive displacement pump, for a given rpm and flow rate it will produce a given pressure differential ratio. Use a turbo to make more than 14.7 psia on the intake side (like 14.7psig or 1 bar of booooossstttt), and you'll sure as **** get that increase in DP on the output.
So yea, twin charging works.

Ask me how I know
And I apprenticed in a Detroit shop one summer, the way those guys explained it ALL 2 stroke Detroit have a blower somewhere. The later stuff was 4 stoke and ditched the blowers for turbos.

I see EMD's had this thinggy....

I knew the F/A-18 was a big bird, but seeing it in context against an E-2 like that really puts things into perspective.
(edit: wait, that's not an 18, is it?)
Cruise speed on the Hawkeye is 256 kts, which I'm guessing is at the lower end of the Hornet's maneuverability envelope.

You'll note in the pic that the E-2's flaps are at 0* (up) and the Hornet has them in an intermediate position. I can't recall what speeds worked out the best, but it was enough nose-up on the Hornet that there was exhaust interference with the E-2's dome.
If you've never seen this, it's pretty unique... Jaguar top-mounted heaters.
doesnt explain why shinji is so painfully ******* whiny is a most episodes
I thought this same thing.
