| USNS Valiant T-AKR-540 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | CO-RO (Combined Container and Roll-On/Roll-Off) | |||
| Length Overall | 738' 1" (224.96-metres) | |||
| Beam | 106' (32.30-metres) | |||
| Draft | 31' 2" (9.50-metres) | |||
| Displacement | 25,960 DWT | |||
| Propulsion | 3x 21MW-rated Rolls-Royce WR-21 marine gas turbines, each driving a two-pole cylindrical rotor generator at up to 3,600rpm. 2x Wärtsilä 12V200 diesel generator sets rated at 2MW each. Power generated at 4,160V AC to main switchboard, which feeds a GE VDM 25000 regulator on each rotor generator set. Power feeds into a pair of 20MW Advanced Induction Motors, one on each shaft. A five-bladed Ni-AL-Bronze controllable-pitch propeller on each shaft. Total propulsion power: 27,000 shp on each shaft. | |||

Notes
Propulsion
Single gas turbine able to run ship under normal operations. Second gas turbine brought online for high-demand operations - i.e. combat. Third gas turbine for redundancy. Diesel generators for backup and use when alongside.
