SNAME Philadelphia Section

Discusses Marine Applications

For Heavy Duty Gas Turbines

Principals shown above at the Philadelphia Section meet- ing, left to right: (seated) S.M. Kaplan, F.X. Critelli, A.

Caruvana, authors; J.M. Bollinger, coordinator; (stand- ing) H.T. McVey, Section vice chairman; T.J. Kavanagh, chairman; W.6. Neal Jr. and A.C. Brown, executive committee.

The subject of the February meeting of the

Philadelphia Section of The Society of Naval

Architects and Marine Engineers was heavy- duty marine gas turbines.

Francis X. Critelli, U.S. Department of

Commerce Maritime Administration, Saul M.

Kaplan, and Anthony Caruvana, General Elec- tric Company Gas Turbine Products Division, presented their paper titled "Heavy^Duty Gas

Turbine Development Project."

The paper presents a general overview of the joint General Electric Company and Mari- time Administration project to marinize the industrial regenerative gas turbine as a more economically and technically competitive form of propulsion power generation for ships of the U.S. merchant marine. The overview in- cludes the logic for the initiation of specific development efforts, present status of hard- ware-related developments, and future poten- tial for marine applications.

J.M. Ballinger, Sun Shipbuilding & Dry

Dock Co., coordinated the meeting for the local Section.

Discussers included G.C. Swensson, Sun

Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.; R.B. McFadden,

J.J. Henry Co., Inc., and T. Radkevich, West- inghouse Electric Corporation.
