This paper will discuss the current status of the gas turbine waste heat recovery systems in the US Navy. This will include discussions of the auxiliary systems currently operational on the SPRUANCE Class Destroyers as well as the combined-cycle cruise propulsion systems currently planned for development initiation in FY'78. The major emphasis of the discussion will be to detail the rationale and to identify the basis upon which the US Navy arrived at a decision to develop combined cycle systems to be available for non-nuclear combatant ship cruise propulsion for the mid 1980's. The design concepts considered feasible for these applications will be discussed as well as an overview of the development program to completion. (Kursetz)
