sub propeller design help

Dont know much about prop design, but a quick search shows that it uses a hollow shaft/tube for one prop with a solid shaft inside of it for the second prop. Some type of gearing is needed between the two shafts in order to get them both to rotate in opposite directions. I think the USS Albacore used that kind of design

here is a diagram showing the props
