GE Aerospace Wins LM2500 Gas Turbine Orders to Power Two More US Navy Arleigh Burke Destroyers

GE Aerospace received orders for eight LM2500 marine gas turbines to power two additional US Navy Arleigh Burke-class Flight III guided-missile destroyers. The engines are destined for the future USS Ray Mabus, DDG 147, and USS Robert R. Ingram, DDG 149, with four turbines installed in each ship. Announced on November 2, the orders continue the propulsion configuration used throughout the Arleigh Burke class rather than introducing a new engine type. GE reported 75 active destroyers using LM2500 propulsion as of April 2026, while the new announcement did not disclose order value or engine delivery dates.
