Dave, the sailor, who believable stated to have served aboard the Constant says in the preamble:

"...Here are more photos of the Constant that I have collected over the years on the Internet. You have probably seen most of them, but I thought it would be nice to put them all on one page. ..."

According to Wikipedia the vessel has "Four Packard ID1700 diesel engines" so either the sailor or Mr. Neal mistooks the engine.

Mal, the style of the training film, its clear pictures and examples and moreover the clarity of both sound and content of explanatory comments reminds me on Flipper.
Even the motion picture technology, steady cinematography, the alternating optimistic and dramatic background music and colors look resp. sound alike.
