Technical data[]
Design[]
The class is 333 meters in length with 25 decks and a weight of About 100,000 tonnes. It has a standard crew complement of 508 with a maximum capacity of 3,789.
Energy generation[]
Two reactors which are nuclear powered are installed on each Liad class carrier. The reactors produce heat through nuclear fission which heats water. This is then passed through four turbines which are shared by the two reactors.
Liad class ships also convert steam into power by piping it to four main turbine generators (MTG) to generate electricity for major ship systems.
Propulsion[]
The ship's steam system spins four propeller shafts, producing a maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h) and maximum power of 260,000 brake horsepower (194 MW). The turbines power the four bronze propellers, each with a diameter of 25 feet (7.6 m) and a weight of 66,000 pounds (30 t). Behind these are the two rudders which are 29 feet (8.8 m) high and 22 feet (6.7 m) long, and each weigh 110,000 pounds (50 metric tons).
