Olympus based Marine Gas turbine for German Navy

[edit]

Quite a lot of outside sources discuss this Bundesmarine project to use an Olympus gas generator with a Brown Boveri turbine for a projected but later cancelled Ggerman warship. I cant find any references anywhere to this cancelled ship anywhere. Not unusual in the scheme of things. However about the same time , the Bundemarine started construction on the 6 ship Koln class of frigates which were combined diesel and gas turbine -CODAG The attribution for the gas turbine system is Brown Boveri. ( now known as ABB). Brown Boveri was seen as a steam generator electric company and not known for any gas turbine expertise. Im wondering if the gas turbines in the Koln frigates produced by BBC were the Olympus gas generators with the BBC components as previously tested?(Okerefalls (talk) 02:39, 22 September 2019 (UTC))[reply]
