"The recent tests aboard Freedom included the light off -- or initial operation -- of the ship's four 750-kilowatt Fincantieri Isotta Fraschini diesel generators and testing of its three-megawatt electrical power plant. The testing of the generators involved loading each generator to its full- power capacity. Following successful completion of this step, further testing included synchronizing -- or "paralleling" -- the generators to attain the power levels required to support Freedom's operations at sea. In addition, the power quality was closely evaluated to ensure all ship systems and sensors requiring electrical power could operate effectively. This, says Lockheed Martin, marks a significant milestone for Freedom as its electric plant is completely functional and able to support all tests, evaluations and operations at sea."
"Lockheed Martin’s first Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) has reached another testing milestone with the completion of testing of the ship’s electric plant, Lockheed Martin announced March 17, paving the way for a late summer delivery of the ship."
