Here is the LM6000
on the left and the LM2500 on the right. Additionally, we have chosen an
Allison 501-K34 to be used as an emergency backup in addition to sustaining
ship’s auxiliary electrical loads when ship’s power is required during a
non-steaming condition. Given this configuration of engines, Sea TENTACLE has
minimized its vulnerability in the event of engine failure. More
specifically, the endurance speed, 20 knots, could still be accomplished if
two of the large gas turbines were lost. Additionally, all four turbines have
been placed in separate main engineering spaces to reduce vulnerability of
loss due to hull damage.
