New Electrical Generators For Royal Navy’s Workhorse<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A \u00a368M contract, with Rolls-Royce subsidiary MTU, which includes a training and transitional support package, will see each ship supplied with four new diesel generators and associated upgraded power distribution. A second contract, worth \u00a312 million, with Hitzinger UK, will provide voltage converters to deliver greater power to the frigates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MOD<\/a><\/p>\n

The work is part of a programme of upgrades to weapon systems, infrastructure and navigation equipment which will ensure that these adaptable frigates, built between 1985 and 2002, continue in service and are able to be deployed worldwide for a number of years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, said;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These upgrades will ensure that the Type 23 frigates, the backbone of the Royal Navy\u2019s fleet, can continue to protect UK interests around the world. The work is part of our \u00a3163 billion equipment plan, paid for by a defence budget that will rise each year from now until the end of the decade.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vice Admiral Simon Lister, Defence Equipment and Support\u2019s Chief of Materiel, (Fleet), added;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This welcome upgrade will underpin the continued success of these flexible warships through their extended life, providing the additional electrical power and reliability necessary to support other key system upgrades and ensuring that the Royal Navy remains able to fulfil its worldwide commitments.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
