The continuing evolution of gas turbine propulsion systems for naval vessels is discussed. Following a brief historical survey, the reasons for the current practice of using adapted aero-engines are reviewed. The forward prospect for naval power-plants is then examined in the light of the progression of aero-engine technology and the trends in major cycle parameters. The extent to which these can be exploited in marine propulsion engines is assessed. Finally, some elaborations of the simple-cycle engine which might be suitable for naval applications are considered. (Kursetz)
