Steve Maynard, Randy Johnson, and Rob Liner all work for GE Aviation’s marine gas turbine business, which provides reliable turbine power aboard 631 naval ships in 39 navies around the world. But these three don’t just know each other from work—for a short period in the early 1990s, all three served aboard the former U.S. Navy Spruance-class destroyer, USS Fletcher (DD-992), which was powered by four GE LM2500 gas turbines.

The USS Cincinnati was commissioned into the United States Navy's fleet this weekend in Gulfport, Miss. Powered by two GE Marine LM2500 gas turbines, the USS Cincinnati is the fifth ship to be named Cincinnati.

Along a stretch of the Italian coast between two of the most popular destinations of the Dolce Vita, sit two of the largest shipyards in Italy. It's here where Avio Aero, GE Marine and Fincantieri partner to construct vessels for Italy and foreign naval fleets.

Seven thousand tons sailing at up to 27 knots, thanks to the GE LM 2500 G4+ turbines that Avio Aero installs on the Italian-French FREMM ships.
