TN had a high speed requirement on Ada-Class and CODAG was the most suitable solution considering the size limitations on the ship, both fitting into beam + deck height and not occupying excessive volume, allowing designers to fit more equipments and features into the hull.
I have posted in another thread about the propulsion system on Ada-Class and how compact it is in fact, as compact as something gets it becomes rigid and less flexible in design.
It is Diesel + Diesel in the end . A portion of Diesels are directly driving the propeller, the rest is Gen-Set driving the electric Motors.
Now i wonder, are they getting CODELOD from MAN or MTU?
Marine engine applications on Naval vessels
Have found two documents published by MTU while wandering in my computer, both of these can be useful to understand how engines are selected and placed, what CODAG-CODOG-CODELAG may look like: Will elaborate by quotes and pictures from the documents.defencehub.live
Hmm combined diesel and diesel vs combined diesel and electric not da same thing brah ;-)
This protrusion that's hosting the Yalman missile launcher is annoying. Feel like it should host something little more beefy, maybe future modernisations that space could be utilised for RAM type point defence missile system.
