The Rolls-Royce MT30 (Marine Turbine) is a marine gas turbine engine based on the Rolls-Royce Trent 800 aero engine.
In early 2003 the MT30 was selected to power the Royal Navy future aircraft carriers (CVFs) and the demonstrator of the US Navy's DD(X) multi-mission destroyer.
In June 2004 Lockheed Martin awarded the engine contract to the MT30 for its littoral combat ship design.
In 2012 the company repackaged the MT30 so that it would fit into smaller ships,[2] and the first such order came from South Korea, for its Daegu-class frigates.
In May 2021, Rolls-Royce and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to service the MT30 turbines in India, for the Indian Navy's Next Generation needs.
