F M Supplying Engines For New U S Navy Vessel Diesel Gas Turbine

F M Supplying Engines For New U S Navy Vessel Diesel Gas Turbine Fairbanks morse will build the four main propulsion diesel engines for the lpd 30, the u.s. navy’s first lpd flight 2 class ship. the newly designed ship will be based on the san antonio class hull, but the lpd flight 2 is fitted with a fully capable flight deck and hangar, a well deck, and the vehicle and cargo capacities to support and sustain more than 500 combat equipped marines for up. The u.s. navy frigates will feature the same power dense ge lm2500 g4 gas turbine in a combined diesel electric and gas turbine (codlag) propulsion system. “the ffg 62 marks the initial u.s. navy use of the lm2500 g4 engine. to date, 37 lm2500 g4 gas turbines have been chosen for surface combatants and two for commercial marine ships, as well.

U S Navy Picks Fairbanks Morse Man Engine Diesel Gas Turbineо Ge marine has been contracted to supply an aeroderivative marine gas turbine engine as part of the “combined diesel electric and gas turbine propulsion system” to power the u.s. navy’s new constellation class vessels (ffg 62), a series of 20 guided missile frigates announced in 2017 as a follow on program to the navy’s littoral combat ships. The lm2500 g4 gas turbine for the new class of frigate is certified to a u.s. navy rating of 30.3 mw (u.s. navy standard day). ge will ensure the gas turbine and all associated auxiliary equipment. The u.s. navy will benefit from fincantieri’s low risk, proven ship design powered by ge’s reliable lm2500 g4 gas turbine.” the lm2500 g4 gas turbine for the new class of frigate is certified to a u.s. navy rating of 30.3 mw (u.s. navy standard day). ge will ensure the gas turbine and all associated auxiliary equipment is to specification. Ge engines have been installed aboard over 600 naval ships serving around the world and provide 95% of the commissioned propulsion gas turbines in the u.s. navy and coast guard surface combatant fleet. the lightweight composite module will be installed in these new warships: us navy’s ffg 62 constellation class frigates and ddg 51 flight 3.
