USE models are for dry installation and can be mounted directly to the hull or in a container
Standard & underwater mountable

The Rolls-Royce standard and underwater mountable ranges are available in 10 standard sizes with input powers from 330kW to 6,500kW and a range of propeller options (ducted or open). Mounting for the standard range includes the bottom well cover type, which is lowered inside the hull and bolted into place, or the weld-in type. Underwater mountable models can be dismounted using a special lifting procedure without the need to drydock, important for larger vessels and semi-submersible drilling rigs.
