Why can’t AIP create silent non-killer submarines? I imagine if you’re studying life in the deep ocean, a silent submarine is nice.

- gpm 5y agoAIP isn't quieter than a batter powered submarine, it's quieter than a nuclear powered submarine. Unless you're doing ridiculously long research dives (in which case batteries don't suffice), or you care about noise on the surface (where you would use a traditional air burning diesel engine to recharge) it doesn't seem like this brings any advantages.
