It appears that discipline evolved for aircraft turbine design is directly applicable to marine and industrial power plants; definition of service ratings for intermittent duty, continuous running, and heavy duty; problem areas are vehicle transmissions, dynamic braking capability, salt water and sand ingestion; acceptable overhaul interval of 7500 hr or better can be expected for engines of less than 1-lb/hp specific weight; example of 2000-hp power package.
