Special Naval Delivery: GE Marine equips U.S. Navy with eight LM2500 gas turbines

摘要

GE Marine delivered eight LM2500 aeroderivative marine gas turbines that will power the U.S. Navy's DDG 113 and DDG 115 destroyers in the DDG-51 restart program. Commencing with this program, the U.S. Navy has adopted GE's recommended LM2500 common engine initiative. "The U.S.' Navy's adoption of the, LM2500 common engine program allows GE to leverage the LM2500 industrial volume to control cost and improve manufacturing and durability, as well as spare parts lead times, in support of the U.S. Navy fleet," said Brien Bolsinger, GE Marine general manager.
