Electric Warships – From There to Here and Beyond

IMarEST TV recording from the Naval Engineering Special Interest Group, presented by Frank Mungo with Christopher Hodge and David Mattick.

This webinar provides a glimpse at the upcoming Engine As A Weapon (EAAW) Conference 15th-17th November.

Three old friends who were part of most of the conference planning review the origins of the Royal Navy’s Full Electric Propulsion (FEP) strategy and its early days of technology demonstration (despite CADMID) – in passing explaining the roots EAAW in the Electric Warship lecture series.

They then describe the selection of FEP for 3 classes of RN warship, and dwell in particular on the early trials and tribulations of the T45, explain why it hasn’t made its way into nuclear submarines yet (except for the French) and digress briefly into the USN experience.

Finally they wonder could we, should we, use it in future; if so what would we have to do to succeed.
