Efficiency is directly related to range or submerged time.<br /><br />Regards,<br />MHalblaub<br /><br />MHalblaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234020711635190127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-9167719153122692682017-02-10T19:02:59.427+11:002017-02-10T19:02:59.427+11:00Hi Anonymous at 8/2/17 8:24 PM

For idea of existing see <br />- sub-heading "Fuel cell systerms - German PEM" http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/air-independent-propulsion-aip.html<br /><br />and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_212_submarine#AIP<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-57680173055459393542017-02-10T18:39:46.810+11:002017-02-10T18:39:46.810+11:00Hi ONeil Padilla

SAAB once again teamed up with Damen to get leg up or some interest in their A26 design from the Dutch.<br /><br />Time will tell.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647646945803452501noreply@blogger.com
