GE Aerospace’s Marine Engines & Systems has received orders to supply eight LM2500 marine gas turbine engines for the U.S. Navy’s next two Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers: the future USS Intrepid (DDG 145) and USS Robert Kerrey (DDG 146). Each destroyer is powered by four LM2500 engines, providing the proven propulsion power that has made the Arleigh Burke class the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet for over three decades.
“The LM2500 has been the engine of choice for the U.S. Navy’s destroyer fleet for decades, and we’re proud to continue that legacy as the Navy builds toward its 390-ship goal,” said Mark Musheno, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, GE Aerospace’s Marine Engines & Systems business. “GE Aerospace is committed to ramping up production capacity to meet the Navy’s expanding fleet requirements while maintaining the quality and reliability that has made the LM2500 the most trusted marine gas turbine in naval service worldwide.”
The LM2500 marine gas turbine is the most widely used naval propulsion system globally with thousands of engines in service across multiple navies. GE Aerospace’s commitment to innovation, reliability, and comprehensive support makes it the partner of choice for mission-critical marine propulsion.
