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.
