The Olympus was also "marinised" and powered the Mk V Frigates built by Vospers (and Vickers?) which were sold to the Iranian Navy circa 1970.

And the Proteus was used in the cross channel Hovercraft. (at least I assume it was the same, just a marine version.)

They don't put a complete list...no types on the Dart and the Comet is not on the Avon so there can be expected to be a lot of types not mentioned. :think:
