well that is a nice idea...

BTW did you know that Hydroperoxid propulsion were used by US on their subs as well even after the war. Same happened for Russian subs and the British tested it a couple times but abandoned the project because it was dangerous...

This is from the Kockums website and includes details of the AIP ("air independent propulsion") system onboard the Swedish "Gotland," a non-nuclear SSK recently leased by the US Navy for evaluation. Appears the US is now considering non-nuclear subs for the first time since the 50's. The Gotland, taking part in fleet exercises, proved itself to be FORMIDABLE (to say the least!)
