Must be some kind of prototype/concept model, because as far as I'm aware, the Gotlands, their most modern service SSK are equipped with diesel-electric/AIP hybrid. Perhaps they're planning this for their next-generation A26 subs (based on the cancelled Swedish/Danish Viking-class project). Anyway, it seems to me that this technolegy will need to mature some more before it can actually replace diesel engies as the sole means of power generation/propulsion on production submarines. |
Hmmm I guess your correct. I miss understood some data off the web. b
