The first of six Huon class minehunters being built by ADI Ltd. for the Royal

Australian Navy under a $1 billion contract has been launched in Newcastle,

England. With a sonar system reportedly capable of detecting and classifying mines in 656.2-ft. (200 m) ocean depths and remote-controlled mine disposal vehicles equipped with closed circuit television, Huon is touted by ADI as the world's most advanced minehunter.

Erin L features the new Traktor Jet I-600HH.

TJI-600 HH Specifications

As noted, the TJI-600 produces 8,700 lbs. of thrust at 600 hp. The unit has no underwater appendages to damage, making shallow water operation possible.

Low shaft rpm allows ingestion of debris with less damage. Grease lubricated tail bearing, heavy duty one-piece stainless steel impeller and marine grade aluminum con- struction are all reasons the unit has quickly become a preferred propulsion choice. The TJI-600HH is specifically designed for boats requiring 300 to 600 hp diesel engines needing high thrust at low speeds.

The previously mention

Expedition features the TJI- 600HH., allowing the 65-ft. boat to take full advantage of speed and maneuverability controls.

Jet engine technology for commercial marine use is no longer just blue sky.

GE Marine & Industrial Engines

We bring good things to life.

Aircraft engine technology has come down to earth and on to the high seas with

GE marine gas turbines. Over 40 GE LM500,

LM1600 and LM2500 engines are either how at sea or have been selected to power a variety of com- mercial vessels to speeds as high as 50 knots.

Ranging from 4.5 to 40 megawatts, GE aeroderivative gas turbines provide a quiet, compact, lightweight power source with proven reliability for today's fast ferries, LNG tankers, fast cargo vessels and cruise liners. Low on vibrations, emissions and maintenance require- ments, GE gas turbines are high on experience.

With over 6 million hours and 25 years behind us, no one can match our record at sea.

So if you have a commercial vessel that needs to fly over water, the sky's no longer the limit. Learn more about the value of gas turbine power for commercial use by calling 01-513-552-5375 in the U.S., 31-20-503-5498 in

Europe, or 81-33-588-6137 in the Far East.
