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.
