Thank you for clarification. I never red before that someone claimed to run a warship with gas!

Neither have I for that matter, Im sure that if a millitary ship is run off gas someone will tell us quickly.

Its not unusual for commercial LNG carriers to run on gas fired boilers with steam turbines.

For that matter I wonder if the new steam plant is anything similar to that fitted to the Kuznetsov.

The Steam turbines on the Kuznetsov require distilled water to operate properly, every time they send her out the water distilling equipment clog up and they then have to spend a year repairing it. She spends more time in the yard being repaired then out at Sea.

Wasn’t particularly interested in starting a flame war and I know that this kind of subject can get people hot under the collar but I was only stating what I saw.

Looking aside from reduction of radiated noise which is something that America and Britain do far better than anyone else, to my eye Servestal tech wise looked more like something Britain or America would of fielded in the 1960s.

I do realise that Russia has developed some sophisticated Submarine technology and I find her latest Diesel Sub technology very impresive.

I just don’t feel that you can call Servestal state of the art in comparison to the latest generation of American or British Boomer.
