An advanced grinding machine finishes the teeth on GE gears to tolerances which can not be seen by the human eye. GE's world- class facility in Lynn, Mass., is dedicated to the design, manu- facture and test of propulsion gears for the U.S. Navy and com- mercial ships such as LNG tankers, the Arleigh-Burke DDG-51 destroyers and IMASSCO-built Sealift ships. propulsion and control systems and equip- ment for customers in the commercial and naval marine propulsion markets. The sys- tems offered incorporate gas turbine mechani- cal drive, gas turbine electric drive and diesel- electric drive technologies using GE gears, power converters, motors and programmable logic (PLC)-based control systems. "This team approach has already proven suc- cessful, with GE capturing significant orders worldwide, including projects in China with

Shengli Oil for a workboat, and more recently, a contract to supply two ship sets of propulsion equipment for two new Disney cruise ships," said Rick Veltri, marine industry sales man- ager. "We've proven that this marine team can make it easier for our customers to access the full breadth of GE technologies and scope of products and services to meet all shipboard power requirements."

For the Disney project, GE's marine team will provide the electric drive propulsion sys- tems and the ships' automated machinery con- trol and monitoring systems. This will include two, 25,000-hp propulsion motors, associated

LCI drives, GE Fanuc-based automation and controls, as well as other auxiliaries.

GE's marine team designs and builds entire propulsion systems, as well as supplying indi- vidual components. Equally important, all of this is backed with an international network of strategically-placed GE experts, technicians and facilities. The businesses which comprise

GE's marine team, and the services each busi- ness provides are as follows: — GE Marine & Industrial Engines (Evendale, Ohio) offers the LM series of aeroderivative gas turbines. These are highly
