Rolls-Royce has an unrivalled track record in supplying
equipment for fast craft of all sizes. For vessels designed
to go faster than 30 knots and can be called upon to
operate in shallow waters, waterjets turned by diesels
or gas turbines are often the preferred propulsion system
option.
Rolls-Royce is a world leader in waterjet technology
with units in service propelling medium-speed and high-speed
patrol craft in 20 of the world's navies. Rolls-Royce
is also developing and testing the underwater discharge
AWJ-21 under contract with the US Navy's ONR to provide
increased propulsive efficiency with reduced acoustic
signature.
