Broadly, aspects considered are hydrodynamic advantages, comparison of surface ships and submarines of same deadweight taking nuclear propulsion into account, operating and terminal problems; general conclusion is that submarine cargo ships and tankers of circular cross section could be designed to compete with surface ships of same deadweight as regards power requirements, especially when considering effects of rough weather, from which submarine would be immune; up to speeds of 25-30 knots capital cost of submarine, docking facilities, and of offshore terminals could not now be justified; at higher speeds, submarine begins to have power advantages.
