They mention that the submarine uses liquid oxygen. How are they storing this cryogenic liquid, and compressing it? I imagine that would take a ridiculous amount of equipment, and power in the first place?
- csours 9y agoI imagine that it is topped up by either a tender ship or at port. This sub was shipped to the Pacific in another ship for the war games, indicating that it is not practical for it to travel that far on its own.
- dogma1138 9y agoIt's not cryognic it's also not its primary power planet it provides limited power when the sub needs to operate dark. The size of the sub doesn't allow for battery storage sufficient for propulsion and using chemical fuel cells in a sub that small is likely to be too risky.
