2. A2W reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2W_reactor

   The four propulsion plants on Enterprise each contained two reactors, numbered according to the shaft they powered, 1A-1B, 2A-2B, 3A-3B, and 4A-4B. Each propulsion plant was capable of operating on one reactor plant through most of the power range required to propel the ship at speeds in excess of 33 knots (60 km/h).

3. Combined diesel–electric and gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel–electric...

   For higher speeds, a gas turbine powers the shafts via a cross-connecting gearbox; for cruise speed, the drive train of the turbine is disengaged with clutches. This arrangement combines the diesel engines used for propulsion and for electric power generation, greatly reducing service cost, since it reduces the number of different diesel ...

4. General Electric LM6000 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM6000

   The General Electric LM6000 is a turboshaft aeroderivative gas turbine engine. The LM6000 is derived from the CF6-80C2 aircraft turbofan.It has additions and modifications designed to make it more suitable for marine propulsion, industrial power generation, and marine power generation use.

5. Integrated electric propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_electric_propulsion

   An example of integrated electric propulsion in the Type 45 destroyer (GT: gas turbine; DG: diesel generator) Integrated electric propulsion (IEP), full electric propulsion (FEP) or integrated full electric propulsion (IFEP) is an arrangement of marine propulsion systems such that gas turbines or diesel generators or both generate three-phase [1] electricity which is then used to power ...

6. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

   A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a turbine (water, steam, or gas) for the generation of electric power. [ note 1 ] Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships.

7. General Electric LM2500 - Wikipedia
