FAST SHIP PROPULSION BY CODAD

The need for high propulsion power concentrations on small warships such as corvettes and frigates has led to the development of a variety of propulsion schemes. The CODAD--combined diesel and diesel--arrangement is among these. It is an outgrowth of programs to obtain the necessary power density to propel small warships at speeds over 30 knots. Recent developments have enabled CODAD systems to meet the power requirements of warships up to 5000 tons. Highly- charged low compression ratio engines developed by S.E.M.T.- Pielstick for these applications are described.
