The heavier a sub is the bigger the ballast tanks have to be to compensate and the more energy is wasted on moving it, just like any other powered vehicle.
- zardo 3y agoDo they even have ballast tanks? I saw mention of steel ballast they drop at the bottom. The biggest benefit of reduced weight on this thing would be minimizing the size of the crane and surface vessel needed to deploy and recover it.
