Guys ... stick to the topic or I'll delete all off-topic stuff!

An unnamed marine gas turbine. Total output is 30MW, with a thermal efficiency of 40%. I'm not sure how old this image is or its veracity, although the Weibo poster shares a lot of legitimate information. The image seems to imply that it's used on or intended for the Type 055, but I can't vouch for that. Could be an advanced derivative of the GT-25000, although all open sources state an output of below 30MW (around 28MW). The red banner in the background says: "Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Advanced Gas Turbine Laboratory".

The reference to 055 (10000 tone surface combatant, right most picture) states two gas turbine engines. So the poster must made some mistake. We know that 30MW X 2 is in the range for 052D, so either 055 uses 4 of it or something else.

I think this 30MW is just one of the two(?) known domestically further developed Ukrainian GTs. Not something new.

LOL, missed that part where it says two installed on the 10,000-ton-class DDG. Yeah, that's definitely an error and puts a dent in the credibility of the image.
