Abstract:
An overview is provided of the manner in which hydrodynamic and hullform-related design considerations were addressed in the development of the BAE SYSTEMS team’s design proposal for the UK Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF). It also outlines how broader design considerations such as aviation, survivability and supportability requirements influenced these aspects of the design. A summary is also provided of some of the more detailed requirements development, option assessment and performance evaluation work that has been undertaken. The aircraft carrier designs discussed in this paper correspond to the BAE SYSTEMS team’s final design submission as it stood in January 2003, at the time it was discontinued by the UK Ministry of Defence, in favour of the rival Thales / BMT team design that has since been developed into the UK Royal Navy’s new ‘Queen Elizabeth’ class aircraft carrier. This final BAE SYSTEMS design submission consisted of two distinct design variants - one configured to operate a CTOL-based air group, the other configured to accommodate a STOVL air group. Both variants were based on a common ‘core’ ship design. The discussion presented in this paper is applicable to both variants. This paper was originally written for presentation at the June 2003 Royal Institution of Naval Architects ‘Warships 2003 - Air Power at Sea’ Conference. However, it was withheld from publication at the request of the UK Ministry of Defence, due to sensitivity surrounding the UK Aircraft Carrier project at that time. Following re-appraisal in June 2016, the UK Ministry of Defence has now authorised publication of this paper in full. The paper is presented here in its original (2003) form, with Section 2 added to provide historical perspective (given the passage of time).

Abstract:
Abstract Major theories of military innovation suggest that military organizations will converge on the proper employment of new weapons if they are responsive to strategic threats and overcome cultural, bureaucratic, and material constraints. Using a comparison of British and US interwar carrier programs, I show how these standard intuitions about military innovation wrongly assume that there is a predetermined performance trajectory embedded in new technology. The Royal Navy employed carrier technology differently from its American counterpart, not because of cultural biases, bureaucratic parochialism, or resource scarcity, but because the British possessed in-theater military bases and faced the threat of land-based enemy aircraft in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Far East. British carrier warfare, which the field of military innovation studies roundly criticizes as non-innovative and ineffective, was in fact a creative solution for Britain's geostrategic challenges that proved effective for the first couple of years of World War II. Since carrier warfare is a canonical case for military innovation studies, revising our understanding of Britain's interwar carrier program has significant implications for the way scholars conceptualize military innovation and its relationship to wartime military performance.

Abstract:
This chapter by Ben Jones examines the efforts of the Fleet Air Arm to assist in the defense of Britain's sea-borne trade, especially in the Atlantic and Arctic, between 1939–1944. It assesses early setbacks, the hunting for surface raiders, and the options considered to deploy aircraft at sea in defense of convoys. In the early war years, the Fleet Air Arm was thinly-spread and lacked the resources for trade defense. Due to a lack of other assets, the Royal Navy was forced to employ its escort carriers for a range of duties, rather than just trade defense, and the arguments with the Americans over their employment will be explored. Finally, the effectiveness of the Fleet Air Arm's aircraft in the anti-submarine role is assessed in terms of their design, the types of operations they undertook, and the weapons they carried. There is a comparison between the success of the escort carriers of the British and American navies in the anti-submarine role and an explanation of why the latter achieved greater success.

Abstract:
HMS Queen Elizabeth (QNLZ), procured by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the Royal Navy (RN) from the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA), is the first aircraft carrier in the world to utilise an Integrated Full Electrical Power and Propulsion System (IFEP). While building on the design and lessons learned from the UK RN’s Type 45 Destroyer, the first front line warship to utilise IFEP, it also presented a step change in size and complexity, not only of the high voltage (HV) electrical power and propulsion (PandP) system and its automation control system, but also the ship’s wider distribution, control and auxiliary/ancillary systems, which both rely on and support the HV IFEP. Unlike its forerunner Type 45, QNLZ did not benefit from a full-scale shore-based test demonstrator with the cost/benefit decision being taken to carry the system integration and operational risk into the commissioning and trials phase of the project. The challenge presented to the ACA PandP Sub-Alliance (comprising Thales, GE Power Conversion, Rolls-Royce and L3) was therefore to develop a commissioning and trials strategy, programme and documentation set that would allow all elements of the IFEP to be set-to-work in as safe and efficient a manner as possible, with the goal of gaining acceptance from the MoD by delivering the required capability to the RN. This paper will present the methods adopted during this 10-year programme highlighting; 1. The processes followed to develop and then deliver a holistic integrated system commissioning strategy and plan. 2. The pull through and implementation of lessons learned and derisking from previous programmes. 3. The development of the detailed test and trials documentation to allow the PandP equipment and system to be commissioned, trialled and accepted allowing successful delivery into service. 4. The expected and unexpected challenges faced prior to and during the whole-system commissioning and trials phase and what was done to overcome these. 5. The planning and coordination of system integration and sea trials. 6. The lessons learned, successes and best practice that are being taken forward into the programme for HMS Prince of Wales (PWLS).

Abstract:
The MT30 is the latest and most powerful gas turbine to enter the marine market. Recently entering US Navy service in USS Freedom, the first-of-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), MT30 has now been selected to be the prime power plant for two further classes of front-line warships; The Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers for the Royal Navy, and the US Navy DDG-1000 Destroyers. This paper tracks the development of the MT30 from its well-established Rolls-Royce Aero Trent parent, discussing the changes necessary to adapt and harden the gas turbine for the marine application. The MT30 development program is described, including the rigorous testing undertaken to qualify the engine to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) rules. Existing and future applications for the MT30 are described. Systems for achieving efficient hybrid propulsion utilising electric motors for cruise and the MT30 for boost are presented. The latest all-electric marine propulsion architectures as used on DDG-1000 and the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers is discussed -in particular, the issue of maintaining the quality of power supply through transient load demands. The paper concludes with an insight into the latest MT30 package, which sees the system reaching class-beating power densities whilst ensuring maintainability through innovative design features.

Abstract:
Air operations around naval vessels are inherently challenging and a major contributor to this is the turbulent airflow around the vessels, colloquially known as the airwake. To manage the risks associated with these unsteady airflows and to help define safe operating limits for the ship and the aircraft, the Royal Navy undertakes First of Class Flight Trials (FOCFTs). However, these trials inherently carry their own risks as well as being costly and time consuming. This paper discusses how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been used to de-risk flight trials and operations on the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) carriers. The simulations are shown to be in excellent agreement with full-scale LiDAR and anemometer measurements, which provides the requisite confidence to use them as a basis for de-risking. To de-risk the rotary wing FOCFTs, the turbulence approach parameter was defined as a proxy for pilot workload. It is shown that this parameter can be used to identify the wind conditions that are likely to be the most difficult for pilots, and to advise on changes to the approach paths that would reduce pilot workload. Test pilots were briefed with this airwake information prior to the FOCFTs, and the flow features identified in the CFD were found to be consistent with the pilots’ experiences. In the future this analysis could be used to reduce the time and cost associated with flight trials, manage through-life risks, and assess the impact of design decisions on the airwake during ship design. The work has also been used to de-risk F-35 trials and operations. In particular, the findings show that it may be possible to extend the operating envelope of the aircraft using a novel real-time system to predict airwake turbulence. In addition, CFD simulations were used to de-risk ondeck operations by ensuring that aircraft are within their exposure limits when tied-down. This information was used by the FOCFTs teams during rotary wing trials.

Abstract:
The MT30 marine gas turbine has been developed specifically for 21st century naval propulsion using modern techniques and methods. Design and development of the MT30 began in 1999 and has since been qualified for naval service following extensive testing. Since then the engine has rapidly been adopted by progressive navies, in both its mechanical and electrical power generation configuration. The Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is one of a new class of United States Navy (USN) fast combatants which has been at sea for more than six years and is powered by the MT30. A combined MT30-driven generator was selected for the new USN DDG1000 Zumwalt class of destroyer and has also been successfully installed into the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier. Most recently, the MT30 Compact Package has been selected to power the Royal Navy’s Type 26 Global Combat Ship which will be built by BAE Systems. The MT30 Compact Package has been designed with the aim of powering modern warship programmes, with the result that it is currently the World’s most power dense in-service marine gas turbine. This is an important factor in naval propulsion where delivering a high power output in a compact space is essential. In addition to the programmes stated above, the MT30 Compact Package was selected for the new Republic of Korea Navy’s (RoKN) frigate programme with a single-GT CODLOG hybrid arrangement consisting of propulsion motors and a Diesel-electric system. As a result, Rolls Royce was selected by the RoKN to deliver the MT30 Gas Turbine Unit and, from a preliminary Rolls-Royce compact package design, the engine and machinery division of Hyundai Heavy Industry (HHI-EMD) has developed the Compact Package for the New Korea Frigate. The MT30 GT was delivered to the HHI-EMD facility in 2014 with the surrounding Compact Package built at HHI-EMD before onward delivery to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) where construction of the first frigate will take place. This paper provides the rationale for selection of the MT30 Compact Package for the New Korea Frigate Programme and also describes the development of the MT30 Compact Package; aspects of the design process, construction of the Compact Package and the factory acceptance test conducted at the HHI-EMD facility.
