G.E. LM2500 Engines

To Power Eight More

U.S. Navy Frigates

The United States Navy has exercised part of a 48-ship option to purchase eight additional USS

Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7)

Class ships. Each will be powered by two General Electric LM2500

Marine Gas Turbines. Firm orders on these LM2500 powered frig- ates now include 34 for the U.S.

Navy, three for the Royal Aus- tralian Navy, and three for Span- ish Navy frigates of the same basic hull design. The first of these eight new ships is sched- uled to be launched in February 1982, with the eight scheduled for delivery from May 1983 to Jan- uary 1984. Options to purchase 40 additional sets of engines for these frigates remain for deliv- eries through 1985.

In total, the LM2500 has been selected to power 137 vessels in 12 Free World navies and to date, LM2500s have logged over 265,000 hours at sea, with an es- tablished record of over 99.95 percent availability in marine service.

The Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigates have a displacement of 3,585 tons, length of 445 feet, beam of 47 feet, with speed ca- pability of 28+ knots.

Bath Iron Works Corporation (BIW) in Bath, Maine, is the cen- tral procurement agency for this contract with the U.S. Navy. In addition to BIW, Todd Shipyards in Seattle, Wash., and San Pedro,

Calif., will be the shipbuilders.
