VALIDATION OF THE TYPE 23 PROPULSION PLANT DESIGN

The Type 23 is an antisubmarine frigate with added general purpose capability. Extensive shore testing of the propulsion plant was undertaken because of the requirement to develop a viable electric propulsion plant within very stringent technical and operational parameters. This paper discusses the various types of shore trials that were carried out and their influence on the design of related systems.
