This paper examines typical shipboard operational requirements, conventional marine propulsion control methodology, and the related merits of power and speed governing for the aircraft derived marine gas turbine engine applications of the future.
Contained herein is a description of the methodology utilized in determining the ship characteristics and equipment selection. In addition, the authors describe in detail the various ship systems and the organization formed for supervision of construction. Of particular interest is the technical team formed prior to construction and the uneventful sea trials of a new design with a unique propulsion system.
