In Makin Island , the gas turbines are used to power the ship above 12 knots. Below 12 knots, ship propulsion is provided by two 5,000-shaft-horsepower (3,700  kW) AC electric motors connected to a second input shaft on the main reduction gears. When powered by the electric motors, the gas turbines are decoupled from the main reduction gear and braked to prevent spinning. When the gas turbines are engaged, the electric motors are similarly decoupled from the drive system. The propeller shafts can be driven at lower speeds by slowing down the electric motors. Variable drive speed is achieved with an (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alstom) (Alstom) Alstom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_frequency_drive) (Variable frequency drive) variable frequency drive system.

The boilers also provide steam to heat the ship in colder climates. Since Makin Island does not have steam boilers, she uses the diesel electric generators for all shipboard power services. Specifically, instead of steam heating, she uses electric heating for laundry and hot water supply as well as for heating interior compartments in cold climates. The gas turbine propulsion plant, with all electric auxiliaries, is a program first for large-deck amphibious assault ships and provides significant savings in manpower and maintenance costs associated with traditional steam-powered amphibious ships. The ship carries four reverse-osmosis water-purification systems, each capable of processing 50,000 US gallons (190,000  L) of fresh water per day.(USS_Makin_Island_(LHD-8).html#cite_note-New_Hybrid_Ship-11) [ 10]     The same propulsion systems experimented with in Makin Island will also be used on the (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America-class_amphibious_assault_ship) (America-class amphibious assault ship) America -class  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_assault_ship) (Amphibious assault ship) amphibious assault ships .(USS_Makin_Island_(LHD-8).html#cite_note-12) [ 11]    (USS_Makin_Island_(LHD-8).html#cite_note-13) [ 12]     She was christened on 19 August 2006, sponsored by Silke Hagee, wife of General (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hagee) (Michael Hagee) Michael Hagee , (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandant_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps) (Commandant of the United States Marine Corps) Commandant of the Marine Corps , and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_launching_and_naming) (Ship launching and naming) launched on 15 September 2006.
