Almost half of the Navy's newest ships are powered by C-E boilers.

The Navy depends on C-E boilers.

And with good reason.

During the past 10 years, the U.S.

Navy has commissioned or ordered 60 ships powered by C-E marine boilers.

That's almost half its newest steam- driven ships.

Included are five amphibious cargo (LKA) ships powered by the

V2M-8, the most modern naval boiler afloat. It features a completely water- cooled, welded wall furnace.

And more than 30 of the 46 ships in the Navy's DE-1052 class escort vessels are cruising with C-E marine boilers.

Combustion Engineering provides the high reliability required to absorb the stress and strain of demanding naval operations. Our boilers include such features as vertical superheaters with retractable soot blowers and wide range steam atomizing C-E burners, for effi- cient burning of all types of fuel.

Today, more than 700 C-E V2M-8 marine boilers propel fighting ships and merchantmen over the seas.

For the future, C-E is preparing new improved designs to power the advanced ships now on the Navy's drawing boards.
