This Ship Is Fly: Why Powering Ships With Modified Jet Engines Has Been A Brilliant Idea

Tomas Kellner
July 02, 2018
The U.S. Navy’s sophisticated and versatile littoral combat ships (LCSs) can chase down speedy enemy boats in shallow waters, hunt for diesel submarines in the open ocean and defuse mines at any depth. The Navy plans to build 30 LCSs, and half of them will be powered by a pair of GE turbines originally developed for a different branch of the military: the U.S. Air Force (more on that later). The Navy commissioned the latest one from the GE batch, the USS Manchester (LCS-14), on May 26, and eight more powered by GE are set to follow.

Running RAN engines better on data

Just as the brakes in identical cars identical wear at different rates depending on driver, usual terrain and traffic lights per typical journey, GE LM2500 gas turbines powering the Royal Australian Navy’s surface fleet experience performance differences and repairs at varying intervals.

Why does one gas turbine perform somewhat better than another? Why does the timing of engine repairs on one ship differ from those of an engine of the same age on another ship?

Revving up maintenance of the RAN’s surface fleet

What does the Royal Australian Navy do with its LM2500 gas turbines after their ships have come in for the last time? When two LM2500s recently became surplus due to the phased retirement of the Royal Australian Navy’s Adelaide Class frigates, GE and the RAN recognised a maintenance opportunity—the engines would provide hands-on familiarisation and training for RAN crews ashore.

GE locomotive engines teaming with the sun for mine power

May 25, 2017
In a clearing deep in the Fraser Range of Western Australia, five diesel engines are doing the locomotion standing still. The ultra-reliable GE 12-cylinder V-model 250SDA engines are used to travelling long distances as the heart of GE’s heavy-haul Evolution locomotives.

This Ship Has Sailed: U.S. Navy Commissions An All-Electric Stealth Destroyer Zumwalt For Service

Tomas Kellner
October 15, 2016

The U.S. Navy has commissioned for service the USS Zumwalt, its largest and most advanced stealth destroyer. The ceremony took place in Baltimore on Saturday.
Named after the late Adm. Elmo “Bud” Zumwalt Jr., the 610-foot-long, all-electric "multi-mission" ship was built at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Maine. The Navy estimates the 15,600-ton vessel can hit a target at a range of more than 60 miles. It also has a wave-piercing tumblehome design and a unique superstructure that make it less visible to enemy radar at sea.

These New Warships Will Be So Quiet, They Can Sneak Up On Submarines

There’s hardly a more storied sea power than the British Royal Navy. Its fleet destroyed the Spanish Armada, beat Napoleon at Trafalgar and sunk the Bismarck and the Tirpitz, Germany’s greatest World War II battleships.

If Ships Could Fly:  Big Data Dawn on the High Seas

July 06, 2015
A seaborne locomotive sounds like a crazy idea, but engineer Andy McKeran, who designs heavy-duty offshore equipment at GE, might give it another look. “One of the big benefits of working here is that someone in some other part of the company may have already solved your problem,” he says. “We call it the GE store, except that you don’t have to buy the solution, you get it free.”

From Zero to 5,000 mph in Less Than a Second? All-Electric Zumwalt Destroyer May Carry an Electromagnetic Railgun

May 12, 2015
The U.S. Navy’s new Zumwalt class of stealth destroyers is seeking to redefine sea power. Quite literally.
In the past, ships used most of their installed power for propulsion, with the engines and propellers directly connected through large and complex gearboxes. But the all-electric Zumwalt vessels will come equipped with so-called “integrated power systems (IPS),“ designed to route electricity around the ship in an instant, eliminating mechanical gearboxes and allowing the power to be used for both propulsion and other electrical systems – including powerful new weapons.
