Are we also electrifying cruise ships and tankers?

Abstract

And the Royal Navy, Boris? Will the United Kingdom Navy, which watches with a tremendous force over world peace in Plymouth/Devonport and Portsmouth, also be converted to electric motors and batteries? The pride of the Kingdom, the aircraft carrier Queen Elisabeth has two engines, again from the aforementioned large aircraft – as modified variants of the gas turbines of Boeing 777. Each of the two gas turbines has an output of 36,000 kilowatts, which results in a total of 72,000 kilowatts, or 97,893 hp – as much as 1087 VW automobiles of the latest Golf 8 series with one-liter gasoline engines. Everywhere people are currently talking about the great future of wind power as a clean energy, which should make a decisive contribution to saving the world's climate! Why not also for the naval force, Boris? The Royal Navy used sailing warships even in their prime, around 1794. HMS Abergavenny with its 90 meters in length, 1,182 tons in weight, 324 soldiers and 26 cannons was the pride of all the seas of the world, from India to Jamaica.
