Description: The Marine Gas Turbine control systems in present use in the US Navy are of significant      technological age that new design techniques and micro- processing abilities could lead to      more optimal performance and increased plant efficiency. This paper reviews current design      theory approaches for aviation gas turbine control and advances in digital control. This      review shows that todays technology presents the opportunity to redesign control systems      for marine gas turbine propulsion and thereby increase its operating performance. Control,      Marine gas turbine. (mjm)
