Add to this 17.160 HP of the Diesels. Now that is one hell of a thrust for a 3000t ship, when you comapare this to the total of 62070 HP of the new frigate Bayern(4700t) but with its turbines alone which makes 51680 HP in total it eaches supposedly 30 kn and with Diesels 21 kts. But adding both together it can perhaps go close to the 40 kts.
But the USS Freedome must be a hack of a ship. which is much smaller than the bayern. I am wondering how much room is taken away by the engines alone. There must be also a huge leap in performance of the turbines I presume.
