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...

   A CODLAG system employs electric motors which are connected to the propeller shafts (usually 2). The motors are powered by diesel generators.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.

4. 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.

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. General Electric LM2500 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM2500

   The General Electric LM2500 is an industrial and marine gas turbine produced by GE Aviation.The LM2500 is a derivative of the General Electric CF6 aircraft engine.. As of 2004, the U.S. Navy and at least 29 other navies had used a total of more than one thousand LM2500/LM2500+ gas turbines to power warships. [1]

7. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

   Steam powers two types of engine, reciprocating (with steam driving pistons connected to a crankshaft) and turbine (with steam driving blades attached radially to a spinning shaft). The shaft power from each can either go directly to the propeller, pump jet or other mechanism, or it goes through some form of transmission; mechanical, electrical ...
