The warship machinery requirements concerning reliability, flexibility, maintenance time, service life, noise level, exhaust and infrared emission are discussed. The aero derivative gas turbines and the reasons for selecting gas turbines for marine propulsion are given. The characteristics of operation of several turbines and their installation in ships are described. Suggestions for turbine power increase are given.
