Aircraft
Normal take off with engine anti ice on. Climbing out of FL 180 and requesting level off at FL 190; we had a LVL 1 ENG3 FADEC MAINT at XA:00. Followed by a BANG sound. Right after that initially N1 rolled back Past 41% to X. followed by N1-X; EGT-X; N2-X and oil temp -X. At that point; I instructed the FO to secure #3 engine and do the ENG3 severe damage checklist. [Requested priority handling]; requested 11 min of fuel dump and set up for the ILS to Runway XXR ZZZ. At XA:14 we also had a LVL1 GEN OFF. We returned to ZZZ taxied to the gate with no further incident; auto pilots also had difficulty trying to maintain altitude when descent was initiated. Dumped 11 minutes of fuel.
MD-11 Captain reported #3 engine failure after takeoff and performed an air turn back and precautionary landing.
