Conventional machinery and an integrated mast

A combined communications mast is Mogami's distinctive innovation within an otherwise conventional design using gas-turbine and diesel machinery.

Notes

Mogami's gas turbine and diesel engines are conventional elements of a practical design. The combined communications mast attracts particular praise for its integrated structure. Reported interest from India and other countries concerns copying or buying the Japanese mast. Similar approaches exist elsewhere, so the favourable assessment rests on Japan's early execution of an effective design.
