If by "most" you mean the numerical majority, most LM2500 installations

Comparatively few of the engines are used for geared marine propulsion
systems.



Oops, big foot in mouth, just found out there are about 300
more LM2500 engines in military use than civilian power
generation.

Don't know what percentage of the military installations are
geared propulsion though. Probably most of them.
