The US Navy project was formerly known as the FFG(X) programme. Specifically, Rolls-Royce has been contracted to supply four mtu marine gensets, each rated at 3000 kWe at 1800 rpm, for the first ship of the new class.<\/p>\n<p>The Constellation-class frigates were designed for use in coastal and deep-sea waters. The gensets are based on mtu 20V 4000 M53B engines and deliver a total output of 12 MW for propulsion and on-board power supply.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10850\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10850 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-300x225.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-1024x768.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-768x576.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-1080x810.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-750x563.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web-1140x855.jpg 1140w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mtu-20V-4000_web.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Text\/Photo: Behrens \/ Rolls-Royce<br \/><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The flexible design of the frigate's CODLAG propulsion system (combination of diesel-electric and gas turbine propulsion) will enable energy-efficient power generation for propulsion at normal cruising speeds with increased range, while also improving the submarine-hunting capability of the ships, which can reach speeds of up to 26 knots.
