GE LM2500 Gas Turbine to Power Polish Navy's Next-Generation Corvette

(Evendale, Ohio, June 4, 2007) -- GE Marine reports that its LM2500 gas turbine will be used to power the Polish Navy's next generation Type 621 corvette, to be named Gawron. The LM2500 gas turbine will be applied in a combined diesel and gas turbine configuration, with two diesel engines.

GE's LM2500 gas turbine currently powers the Polish Navy's Gen. K. Pulawski frigate.

"We are delighted that the Polish Navy will once again use our LM2500 gas turbine for this next-generation corvette program," said Brien Bolsinger, GE Marine general manager. "With a history of reliable and efficient operation, the LM2500 is one of the world's most popular gas turbines. We believe the Polish Navy will benefit from GE's continual infusion of state-of-the-art technology enhancements of our LM gas turbine product line."
