The HMS Prince of Wales features two MT30 gas turbine alternators, each producing 36 MW. Combined with four medium-speed diesel generators, the ship generates nearly 109 MW—enough to power a small town. Rolls-Royce highlighted this as a major step forward in naval propulsion efficiency.

The company said the MT30 offers high power density, efficiency, and flexibility, supporting future technologies like next-gen radar and energy-intensive weapons. Its design allows reduced turbine numbers and greater reliability over a 50-year lifecycle.

Alex Zino, Rolls-Royce Director of Business Development, said the UK Carrier Strike Group’s visit strengthens ties with India. Currently, over 1,400 Rolls-Royce engines power aircraft and ships across Indian defence forces. Meanwhile, the Indian and Royal Navies began Exercise Konkan-25 off India’s western coast to enhance interoperability and cooperation.
