Re: All Electric Ships

Jim Cate:

Merry Christmas. As other have noted most ships are driven by diesel
motors with electric motor combinations.

The all-electric ship incorporates a single power network supplied by a
primary power source made up of generators distributed within the ship
(diesel motors, gas turbines, fuel cells, etc). This primary power
source is distributed to all of the ship's electric application
including propulsion. Potential benefits of electric-drive ships include
improved fuel efficiency, flexible design ability and reduced internal
volume, among others.

Aloha
