Repulse to use e-Core engine

NS have announced the Repulse 51B, which will follow-on from the Corkscrew 51A from 2122, will have an e-Core engine. The Repulse will have a Proton RM-01MZ e-Core engine. This is an uprated version of the RM-01 used in the Protector and updated Rome classes. The ships will also have an Electron W1A worm drive.

It is expected the Repulse will be capable of the same speeds as the Corkscrew.
