“The Navy is canceling a program to install fuel-efficient hybrid electric drives in 34 destroyers, leaving only one destroyer with the technology, the Navy confirmed in a statement.
“The main issue was the intense electrical load that running the drive system on the ship’s two running generators was putting on the ship.
“‘At that point you are a light switch flipping on away from winking out the whole ship,’ the official said.”
